Severn River modern kitchen at night

Many of the interior finishes were removed to expose the wonderfully textured existing clinker brick hidden below. The brick is highlighted by continuous and unbroken concealed cove lighting and emphasized by the stark contrast with minimalist white finishes. The existing ceilings were removed and replaced with exposed steel I-beam crossties and new cathedral ceilings, with the steel beams placed sideways to provide a cavity at the top and bottom for continuous linear light strips shining up and down.
