GLASS AND SASS
• The artist homeowner wanted
an ultra-contemporary look, so
bold color and modish materials
took precedence. The result:
high-gloss Poggenpohl cabinets
with “floating” glass drawer
boxes; a Teppanyaki grill at
the cantilevered island’s seating
area; and a vivid shining red
glass backsplash to inspire daring
culinary adventures. Harrell

ZEN PARADISE
•
With a nod to Japanese and Mid-
Century styling, the kitchen’s design
features flat panel bamboo
cabinets above white lacquered
drawers. Four dropped pendants
and a large sloping roof window
provide task light, amplified by
the Artimede chandelier over the
dining table. Unseen, on back
wall, is an antique Tansu from the
owner’s extensive collection. RKI
