Read on below to learn how we transformed an aging traditional kitchen into a modern work of art in this San Clemente home.
Before
When we arrived onsite, the clients showed us a kitchen that was starting to become dated. The combination of black marbled countertops with golden oak cabinets is a trend years past, and it had a too-predictable look for our contemporary-minded clients. They wanted to break the mold by going with an all new modern design, leaving this traditional scene behind.
Restructuring
In order to make the most efficient use of the space in this small kitchen, the homeowners elected to keep the original G-Shaped layout. This allowed us to keep the existing surface area of the countertops and even expand upon it. We removed the old cabinets and replaced them with new units from our Sophia Line. As a result, the upper cabinets now hover overhead, while the base cabinets sit neatly beneath the countertops. Also, this layout opens up several pockets of space that empty cabinetry had previously blocked.
The clients chose our Sophia Line Cabinets with Euro construction, Slab horizontal doors, and a Sophia veneer. The exclusive Black Artika finish defines our Sophia Line cabinets. As a result, the design delivers a rich, distinctive look you will not find anywhere else on the market. Naraghi Frosted Mirror glass doors up the sophistication with a pale matte look that ties in well with the crisp Pental Super White Honed Quartz countertops with 1 ½” Navid edge. All of the handles and drawer pulls chosen for the cabinets have a minimalistic shape and stainless steel finish, keeping with the new modern theme.
In the back left corner, our team built a full-height cabinet enclosure for the refrigerator. Next to it, we added a large pantry cabinet. As a result, roll-out trays and deep shelves provide generous and highly organized storage space.
Appliances
Thermador supplied many of the new appliances, including the Thermador Topaz 24” Dishwasher and Thermador 30” Masterpiece Series Single Oven with Professional Handle, both placed next to the kitchen’s two Artisan Chef Pro Undermount Sinks with apron fronts and stainless steel finishes. Also from Thermador is the Thermador Professional Series 36” Porcelain Rangetop which was augmented with a pull-up Dacor Renaissance Epicure 36” Raised Vent, and the 18” Freezer Column paired with a 30” Built-In Fresh Food Column to create an oversized refrigerator.
A GE Profile 1.1 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave is set into the cabinetry above the oven. To the left of the bar area, a U-Line Origins Refrigerator, Wine Captain, and Beverage Center sits beneath the countertop. It is fully encased within the cabinetry and faces outward. As a result, it rests neatly beside the custom inset wall shelving designed for the clients’ wine and liquor collection.
