GREAT NECK (2016)
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This home is a young couples first house. We removed all partitions in the living/dining and kitchen areas to create a nice lofty communal room for the family. The kitchen is minimalistic white in order to become more of a background rather than a focal point. The color is introduced as furniture, light fixtures and even the flowers blooming outside of the large bay window.
The Italian cabinetry is topped off with a white glass countertop. Even the appliances (Miele) are finished in white glass. The one and only non white material in this design is the backsplash. This textural porcelain softens things a bit in a sea of white. There is a fine line between creating a nice minimalistic design and inadvertently setting the scene for some violent Stanley Kubrick film. No fruit was harmed during the shooting of the is project.
