CWE Residence
This kitchen renovation was part of a larger, extensive project that merged two units into one at a Central West End condominium building. The kitchen design contrasts the existing concrete of the building structure with a refined palette of cherry, oak, and polished natural stone. Cherry casework at the perimeter of the kitchen conceals mechanical systems and provides storage and display space. The dropped ceiling — clad in locally sourced white oak — provides a textural grain towards the Basilica and conceals mechanical systems. Integrated LED strip lighting further emphasizes the directionality towards the Basilica. Polished, vein-cut quartzite at the countertops and backsplash contrasts with the exposed concrete column and ceiling. The adjacent eating area is anchored by a long, wall–mounted cherry credenza. A pendant light hanging above the table provides a soft luminosity and adds a touch of color, while views to the south bring the scale of the city into the condominium.
