To keep visual focus on the exterior panorama, the kitchen was designed to stay out of the spotlight without fading away. Upon first glance, it melts into the architecture, giving breathing room to the surrounding space.
As the eyes and activity turn from the view, the quiet white kitchen shows its depth. It is a graphic design element in its own right, balanced by the simple black form of the peninsula - referred to as the "obelisk" by the clients. Simple, considered lines resulting from careful tailoring of the Henrybuilt kitchen system create a cohesive, compelling composition. One that defines shapes and implies movement and functional direction. Specialized functional pieces, like the the backsplash system, are part of the linear form.
