San Roque.
The owners wanted a kitchen to really cook in, in a house that still felt like itself.
A full remodel in San Roque: six months of construction, finished in 2026. The owners wanted a kitchen to really cook in, and a house that still felt like itself when it was done.
The kitchen is built around the range, under a hand-troweled plaster hood and a full-height marble slab, facing a wall of walnut.
The hardest part: keeping the character of the house while everything in it was brought up to date.
What it is made of
| Element | Specified |
|---|---|
| Kitchen hood | Hand-troweled plaster |
| Backsplash | A full-height marble slab |
| Cabinetry | Walnut panel wall with long brass pulls; cream Shaker cabinets |
| Shower | Glazed green square tile to the ceiling, penny-round floor |
| Bath | Terracotta tile floor and a walnut vanity, under a skylight |
