Modern Seaside Kitchen

This Modern Seaside Kitchen was designed and built this year by Lunada Consulting & Design. Grab a glass of wine as we take a tour of this gorgeous gourmet kitchen!

The first thing you notice when walking into this gourmet seaside kitchen is the extraordinary teak wood island and the gorgeous hickory hardwood floors! The objective of this modern seaside kitchen was to open up the space for entertaining. The design challenge was to also find a way to provide ample storage around three large windows. The design solution was to create floor to ceiling wall cabinets on two walls; one opposite of the three windows and the other dividing the kitchen and family room.  

As your attention is drawn back to the high style design of this gourmet kitchen you will see the spectacular feature of the mix of natural teak with modern white laminate cabinetry. This creates a modern feel of texture and color that really adds character! The stainless steel tambour garage cabinets provide easy access to coffee pots and toasters for the morning dash to the office. Then with a swift close of the tambour the kitchen is back to its pristine condition. The full surround of the built in refrigerator again provides a mix of materials and storage. The walk in pantry can be completely hidden away with the pull out doors. The side cabinets then transform into a work of art of teak cabinetry and a lighted art niche.

 

The island is the focal point with book matched teak panels down lit with LED strip lights. The water fall “Caesarstone” countertop embraces the island which contains the commercial grade Wolf 48” Duel Fuel Range and custom Modern-Aire Ventilating hood. The perimeter laminated cabinets provide a dual dishwasher for handling the cleanup of entertaining quickly and efficiently. These cabinets become works of art with hand forged stainless hardware.

 

The prime location in this kitchen is at the walnut butcher block bar. The end-grain walnut block is over 5” thick and is supported by a modern cutout base which is also down lit with LED strips. As you are relaxing at the counter your drink will sparkle under the hand blown glass pendants as you enjoy the view of the Pacific Ocean through the expansive window.
