In this Edgewater penthouse, the original cherry kitchen functioned well but felt dated and dark. The client asked for a breath of fresh air along with a brighter, culinary inspired space. We answered with classic white Shaker cabinetry, honed quartzite countertops and stainless-steel details reminiscent of finishes found in the kitchens of five-star restaurants. The island footprint was enlarged for ample workspace in the kitchen while an underutilized area nearby was outfitted with a custom banquette, giving the client a much-desired dining room.
