La Cucina Vert
This kitchen was created within an existing, limited space, with the Italian tiled backsplash being the only item preserved from the previous design.
By recessing the walls holding the refrigerators and work areas, extra square footage was gained. Thus a more spacious work area was achieved within the parameters of the existing space.
By emphasizing the detail and rich material of cabinets and vent hood; a smallish kitchen feels as impressive as one on a grand scale.
The custom designed vent hood, by masterful metal smiths Whitesmith & Company, Inc. is intended to be a floating, sculptural work of art, rather than the typical blocky barrier that most hoods present. This vent hood features an exquisite array of individually hand-forged and tinted fruits and vegetables.
