Mark Brand ArchitectureThe design of this remodel of a small two-level residence in Noe Valley reflects the owner’s passion for Japanese architecture. Having decided to completely gut the interior partitions, we devised a better arranged floor plan with traditional Japanese features, including a sunken floor pit for dining and a vocabulary of natural wood trim and casework. Vertical grain Douglas Fir takes the place of Hinoki wood traditionally used in Japan. Natural wood flooring, soft green granite and green glass backsplashes in the kitchen further develop the desired Zen aesthetic. A wall to wall window above the sunken bath/shower creates a connection to the outdoors. Privacy is provided through the use of switchable glass, which goes from opaque to clear with a flick of a switch. We used in-floor heating to eliminate the noise associated with forced-air systems.
Steve Tull European CabinetryNotice how the white oak wood grain flows continuously across the door fronts. Nearly every other custom cabinetmaker will not go to this much trouble. Guess what this means: if I make a mistake or damage one during manufacture, I have to replace a whole batch. Ask me how I know this :(

UserA 19th century Japanese Mizuya is wall mounted and split into two sections to act as upper and lower cabinets. Custom cabinetry mimic the style of the client's prized tonsu chest in the adjacent dining room
UserThe couple loved the south pacific and wanted to capture some of the features of that architecture in their custom home. The ceiling panels, the teak wood, the sea colored granite all contribute to the feel.
Payte Miller InteriorsThe kitchen appliances are all faced with custom door fronts to match the design of the grid pattern throughout the home. Custom designed edge details on both the island and the countertops. The cabinet hardware was custom designed as well the faucet and pot filler were custom designed through Waterstone.
Imagine RemodelingThis Asian-inspired design really pops in this kitchen. Between colorful pops, unique granite patterns, and tiled backsplash, the whole kitchen feels impressive!
Steve Tull European CabinetryWhen it became time for a sorely needed update for this home in central Austin, the owners decided it would be best accomplished in two phases. The most notable change occurred in the kitchen which held the place as the the larger part of phase one.
As you can see, the space is very small, with no way for expansion. The use of a very efficient space design by Cindy Black of Hello Kitchen, paired with my European cabinetry served to provide the best use of space.
Robin Rigby Fisher, CMKBD/CAPS/CLIPPS“I don’t want my kitchen to look like anyone else’s.” This was the client’s request to the designer. Influenced by the style of Bali and the client’s own design sense, the new style was dubbed “Julinese” (her name is Julie).
In keeping with the Balinese style, bold design elements were chosen – 6” pyramidal columns stained with a deep java finish, support the 3” thick Purple Dunas granite countertops and the custom glass eating bar. The electrical outlets are housed in these columns.
Further supporting the Balinese theme, the ceiling over the island was raised in a pyramid style – evoking an outdoor feel. Kable lighting illuminates the kitchen.
Topping the cabinets along the walls and the window sill are dark grey 3” thick concrete counters. When the folding windows are open, the sill becomes a 15” deep serving bar for outdoor entertaining.
For ergonomics – the dishwasher and microwave were raised to 42” and 54” comparatively.
Additional Design elements:
Cork floors in Autumn and Black Pepper finish
Custom design cabinet doors support the strong linear lines.
Stainless Steel Farm Sink
Eclipse Architectural Folding window and door
Cheng Design Custom Hood
Carolyn Robbins Site DesignUsing the iridescent turquoise tile up to the ceiling allowed more light to be reflected in this lower level kitchen. It also allows for the continuation of the outdoors inside. By using the collage paper in olive tones on the bar face, the bark of the trees is a compliment.
