A closed, tile-floored kitchen opened up and rebuilt around a single quartzite island and a wall of white oak.
The room had been renovated before, in pieces: navy base cabinets against white uppers, a raised peninsula that walled off the cooking from everyone else, patterned tile underfoot, and appliances in whatever finish was current the year each one was replaced. We took it back to one room and one material palette — white oak beadboard on every face, a plaster hood centred on the range, black counters on the perimeter, and a single quartzite island with the veining carried down both ends.





Tell us the space, the scope, and roughly when. We’ll come back with a pathway and a first sketch.
