A window that brings order.
The sink faces the window. Keeping this area free of upper cabinets preserves the view and concentrates storage on either side.

THE IDEA
A kitchen looking outward.
DESIGN FOCUS
Bringing preparation, cooking and washing around an island while maintaining an open relationship with daylight and views.
A generous window organizes the work wall and brings light to the sink. The island combines preparation and cooking, while tall appliances are grouped to one side. Sand-colored fronts and pale stone form a continuous composition that lets the window take the lead.
