"The focal point of this space is the architectural
vault. We didn’t want your focus to go to it and die there—we wanted
to pull the eye to other things. We used color in burgundy stained
cherry wood, stainless, granite, glass and glass over Formica to
cause your eye to continually travel throughout the space. The only
sections that were entirely dark wood were the bar, because we
wanted that to be elegant, and the refrigerator and pantry area, so
that it would read as a volume.
"The Formica that’s behind the glass is a gray that
we chose to make it the same tonality as the stainless steel. The
rear of the open cabinet is the same dark burgundy as the rest of
the cabinetry. It brings balance to the space, taking the dark
volume on the left and bringing it back in again on the right. I
wanted the backsplash to be a non-element in the kitchen, so we
chose a quiet, indestructible matte porcelain and matched a paint
color to flow into it. The result is a casual yet elegant space with
lots of movement."
