Kitchen · Beverly Hills
An open kitchen anchored by a four-seat quartzite waterfall island
Rift-oak cabinetry and a paneled refrigerator, opening to a living room with a wall of glass doors.
The brief
Open the kitchen to the living room and give it an island big enough to seat four, with cabinetry and flooring that carry through the open plan so the two rooms read as one space.

The finished rooms
Key decisions
Quartzite, wrapped down both island ends
Wrapping the stone down both ends protects the island's sides from chairs and feet, and from the living room the island reads as one solid piece.
A paneled refrigerator in the oak run
Paneling the refrigerator to match the rift oak keeps the run of cabinets unbroken, which matters in a kitchen that's open to the living room.
One floor running from kitchen to living room
The same oak from kitchen to living room makes the open plan read as one space and avoids thresholds and transitions between rooms.
