Elegant handcrafted cabinetry is in keeping with the custom LaCornue range in this dramatic kitchen design. Glass door cabinetry is used throughout to display the homeowners many collections.
Cantoni IrvineFrom the street, it’s an impeccably designed English manor. Once inside, the best of that same storied architecture seamlessly meshes with modernism. This blend of styles was exactly the vibe three-decades-running Houston homebuilder Chris Sims, founder and CEO of Sims Luxury Builders, wanted to convey with the $5.2 million show-home in Houston’s coveted Tanglewood neighborhood. “Our goal was to uniquely combine classic and Old World with clean and modern in both the architectural design as well as the interior finishes,” Chris says.
Their aesthetic inspiration is clearly evident in the 8,000-square-foot showcase home’s luxurious gourmet kitchen. It is an exercise in grey and white—and texture. To achieve their vision, the Sims turned to Cantoni. “We had a wonderful experience working with Cantoni several years ago on a client’s home, and were pleased to repeat that success on this project,” Chris says.
Cantoni designer Amy McFall, who was tasked with designing the kitchen, promptly took to the home’s beauty. Situated on a half-acre corner lot with majestic oak trees, it boasts simplistic and elegant interiors that allow the detailed architecture to shine. The kitchen opens directly to the family room, which holds a brick wall, beamed ceilings, and a light-and-bright stone fireplace. The generous space overlooks the outdoor pool. With such a large area to work with, “we needed to give the kitchen its own, intimate feel,” Amy says.
To that end, Amy integrated dark grey, high-gloss lacquer cabinetry from our Atelier Collection. by Aster Cucine with dark grey oak cabinetry, mixing finishes throughout to add depth and texture. Edginess came by way of custom, heavily veined Calacatta Viola marble on both the countertops and backsplash.
The Sims team, meanwhile, insured the layout lent itself to minimalism. “With the inclusion of the scullery and butler’s pantry in the design, we were able to minimize the storage needed in the kitchen itself,” Chris says. “This allowed for the clean, minimalist cabinetry, giving us the creative freedom to go darker with the cabinet color and really make a bold statement in the home.”
It was exactly the look they wanted—textural and interesting. “The juxtaposition of ultra-modern kitchen cabinetry and steel windows set against the textures of the wood floors, interior brick, and trim detailing throughout the downstairs provided a fresh take on blending classic and modern,” Chris says. “We’re thrilled with the result—it is showstopping.”
They were equally thrilled with the design process. “Amy was incredibly responsive, helpful and knowledgeable,” Chris says. “It was a pleasure working with her and the entire Cantoni team.”

RAO Design Studio, Inc.This sleek hi-rise remodel more than 30 stories up in the air was a challenge in both design and materials. Flooded with intense natural light and open to sweeping urban views during the day, the kitchen quickly becomes dark and inward at night, relying solely on artificial light.
Designer Matthew Rao suggested a large island that would encompass the prep and cleanup zones, the surface cooking area, and dining surface for four. This island has dining room storage on the rear. The layout, with a tall wall of concealed refrigeration, wall ovens, and loads of pantry storage, keeps the clients facing the view and each other rather than looking toward the wall, where the cooking was before.
Designers Suzanne Williams and Rao concurred that a gloss midnight grey finish was what the room needed, reflecting light at night to create a deep and expansive feel, and reflecting the high rises across the street into the clients' kitchen.
SieMatic Cabinetry is full of organizational features, while Gaggenau appliances give the home chef in this couple amazing culinary capabilities and superior aesthetics at the same time. Every drawer is fitted in SieMatc's Multimatic dividers.
The aesthetic simplicity of the kitchen design allows special Italian linear LED lighting in the ceiling to become both its own design element as well as a flexible functional light source. And the living space at one end and dining space at the other do not feel overtaken or overshadowed by the kitchen.
