BELOW: This small kitchen embodies light and sparkle. The island is designed for seating on one side and varied storage on the other. By design, there are no appliances
on it; the island itself functions as a serving counter. Storage is a premium, so we maximized the space available with two cupboards flanking a built-in display cabinet
for the clients' white pottery and sterling silver collection—which, when lit at night, becomes quite striking. The built-in cupboards were designed to precise scale and
covered by a pair of 18th-century shutters. They display original painting of urns and flowers and were the inspiration for the color palette and other elements in the space.

FACING PAGE: The kitchen's look, function, and special arrangement were paramount for a couple who loved to cook and eat. This architecturally contemporary home in
Texas provided an opportunity to design floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with the emphasized beauty of the wood and the simplicity of the hardware. Natural stone countertops
and backsplashes, plus light-tone floors provide the contrast to the dark cabinets and define a subtle geometry within the space. Clear glass shows off a few of the client's
favorite pieces while etched glass allows others to be present but not studied.
