materials, a kitchen design that respect the traditional
footprint of the house’s interior without the expense of the contemporary
functionality can be achieve with the choices of textures, materials, and form
of the space as the presented kitchen illustrates.
"The focal point of the room is the custom, hand-made
pewter hood," said designer Gail Drury. "Its proportions match the
scale of the room, but symmetrical cabinetry on either side – support columns
and a large, arched valance – anchor it back to the more modest proportions of
the immediate kitchen area."
"Ceiling treatments played their part in taming this
room's volume," stated Drury. "We created the beam design to separate
out three individual tray areas. Combined with the beadboard panels, this
brings a more intimate presence to the sweeping ceiling plane."
"Besides the hood, pots of moss in the upper,
decorative niches of the cabinetry provide some of the few points of
color," added the designer. "The island base is in a rich, dark tone
that recedes from the eye, while the turned leg elements give the 13ft-long
island a furniture-like appeal."
