Requisite Sanctuary

This is a large kitchen with two sinks, a cook top/hood, wall ovens, dishwasher, trash compactor, recycling center, wine fridge and coffee center. The floor is a faux bois ceramic plank tile that mimics wood and holds up to dogs, kids, guests and the like. This is a 5000+ sf vacation home that sits up on a hill with stunning views of Carmel Valley. The goal was to remodel the home with the intention of harnessing the beauty of its natural setting, while creating a tranquil place of respite and refuge. As the client has kids, large show dogs, and family/friends enjoying the space, it was important to use finishes that could sustain multiple end users. In lieu of hardwood floors, I specified a ceramic faux bois tile for high traffic areas that looks like hardwood but is virtually indestructible. With warm finishes and sculptural forms, the newly designed home is now dynamic, earthy and inviting.
