Kitchen Remodel
1501 12th South
A closed-off kitchen opened into the dining and living space, with custom cabinetry, a long stone island and a built-in banquette for everyday meals.
Building new on a wooded site is mostly a question of restraint. The form here is simple and agricultural, board-and-batten with standing-seam metal and steep gables, broken by a lower linked wing and a covered porch.
Inside, the material palette is deliberately short: polished concrete underfoot, rough-cut stone, white walls and timber. Floor-to-ceiling glazing puts the meadow and the treeline in every main room, which is the entire reason for building here.
Because everything is exposed, the tolerances had to be tight. Concrete, steel, stone and glass all meet each other in plain view, and none of it is covered by trim.
