To give our clients the counter space they’d been dreaming of, we planted a large island in the center of the kitchen. The island acts as storage and a seating place fully equipped with wooden bar stools. We also opted for a luxurious white marble countertop on the island (since marble requires more care, we went for granite on the other counters). And bouncing off the white counters is bountiful natural light, streaming in from a window that’s over 7 feet tall!
Altogether, there are five windows and a set of glass doors in the kitchen area alone. This brings a ton of light into the space, which makes it feel more spacious. Plus, that seven-foot-tall window faces south, giving the kitchen direct sunlight from 8 a.m. on.
This kitchen’s artificial lighting makes just as much of a statement as the natural light does. Understated task and recess lighting keep the kitchen well-lit at all hours of the day or night, but the real statement is in the pendant lighting. These structural metal lamps float in the center of the ceiling, hanging from an overhead ridge and showing off the high ceilings. The style of the pendant lights is echoed in the sculptural metal decorations placed around the room and ties in the silver appliances and cabinet knobs, bringing the whole look together.
