“In order to create a design with Spanish, Medieval and
Moroccan elements, we wanted what you’d see in a castle. This
kitchen is successful because we used real materials. The room’s
focal point, the hearth, is made out of real stone. It’s a
complete hearth that requires a foundation, as opposed to most
hearths, which don’t go down to the floor and look top-heavy.
The cabinets have a deep yellow glaze on cherry, with sanded-off
corners to simulate a worn, timeless look. The island’s finish
is warm and inviting even though it’s dark, since it complements
the lighter cabinets."

"The refrigerator was designed to look like
heavy oaken castle doors with clavos, which are Mexican forged
iron nails, to play off of the extensive ironwork throughout the
kitchen. With limestone and slate countertops and a beamed
ceiling, everything has a substantial, timeless look. What’s
sophisticated about it is that all the mechanics are hidden. You
wouldn’t know there’s a range hood, as it’s concealed behind
fretwork.”
