Semi-fitted cabinets allow this new kitchen to float inside a traditional space. An island top of rift-sawn elm contrasts with the quieter grain of the casework.
Quartersawn red elm cabinets contrast with the room’s cooler elements: white walls, glass panels, and stainless steel appliances and hardware.

Vertically hinged upper doors align with the drawer layout below. A translucent screen of etched glass panels defines an adjacent entry/mudroom, where an armoirelike coat closet provides a visual link back to the kitchen.
