Lakeside Kitchen Combines Sophistication with Efficiency

In the Northwoods of Wisconsin, this Door County home on the shores of Lake Michigan boasts a beautifully designed kitchen that epitomizes sophisticated functionality.

ELEGANT EFFICIENCY

The homeowners' primary goal was to create an efficient kitchen that seamlessly integrates into their open-concept living area. The layout, including a sophisticated wet bar and generous walk-in pantry, achieves a perfect fusion of practicality and visual appeal. Thoughtful Sub-Zero and Wolf appliance selections enhance both the performance and overall layout while maintaining a clean and unified aesthetic.

SOCIAL HUB DESIGN

Envisioned as a social hub and center of connection, the kitchen immerses everyone in the cooking process, fostering togetherness. The finishes were specifically curated to match the warm and welcoming space, mirroring the overall home aesthetic.

ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTIONS

The clever use of a slatted canopy defines the kitchen as a purposeful and distinct area within the larger open living space. This architectural detail not only establishes the space but also lowers the ceiling height, creating a more intimate atmosphere.

BESPOKE EVERYTHING

Every detail was curated in partnership with the homeowners to mirror their lifestyle and aesthetic. Thoughtful material and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliance selections contribute to a cohesive and sophisticated culinary environment that serves as an organic extension of the home's overall design philosophy.
