This high rise, loft style kitchen incorporates modern design elements using stylish materials and hidden appliances. The horizontal, lift up wall cabinets and floating shelves allows sufficient and functional storage in this minimalist design layout. The soft grey color palette in the cabinetry blends in with the industrial elements of the dwelling structure yet allows the purple accent wall and surrounding art to stand out as focal points in this kitchen. One of the most important requests this client had was that the kitchen needed to take advantage of the dramatic skyline views. The appliances needed to be hidden from view as best possible. A soft, neutral color palette so that she could incorporate her favorite colors, purple and black, in accessories and art. Everything needed a place to be stored so there would be no clutter on the countertops. Due to the structural requirements in the building, a large concrete support column was the biggest design challenge. The location of this column made it difficult to ensure that the client had adequate walkway clearance between the living area and kitchen without sacrificing storage. In the original layout, the shape and location of the island and its attachment to the concrete column blocked the fantastic view of the city skyline. In order to improve this walkway clearance, the island was pushed out further into the kitchen so that it became in-line with the column. A shallow depth, tall cabinet then replaced a standard 24” deep cabinet to widen the walk-space. In conjunction with moving the island, the shape of it was altered so that the cook-top could be relocated to allow the client to cook, congregate and take in the fabulous view of the city.

This living room was inspired by our clients love of Tuscany. Reclaimed DesignWorks provided the reclaimed beams and reclaimed wide plank antique oak flooring. The beams were all reclaimed from the same old warehouse in the southeast. The beams are finished with wax instead of stain and then buffed. The antique oak floor is sealed and finished with a flat antique polyurethane.

Weathered Elegance Recently at DKOR Interiors, we were sought out to design a vacation home for a family from New York in at the Bath Club condominium building in Miami Beach, FL. We came up with several ideas and began developing a concept that included natural elements such as weathered woods and stone in an array of patterns. This was the foundation of our "Weathered Elegance" project. Enjoy our photos and see the end result of our one of our latest projects. Photography by Renata Bastos
