Introducing our Encinitas, CA project to you, starting with the kitchen. Candidly, we could not be prouder to share this home with you.
Over the next few posts, we’ll be diving into more of the details of this project and sharing more of the home, but we had to start with the kitchen. 😍
Our clients live in California but have Michigan ties, and it’s been an extra special opportunity working together to bring their dream home to life.
As you know, ARD loves designing a kitchen, and this one truly reflects the depth and intention of how we approach design. We took a more modern approach here, clean lines, thoughtful restraint, but layered with special moments of warmth that really speak to who we are.
We drew inspiration from our clients’ own tastes, including their exquisite eye for artwork. Designing this kitchen beneath tall, soaring ceilings, we wanted every element to feel intentional, the range, the open sightlines, each one highlighted and framed in thick white oak to create moments that simply hold your attention.
It’s a kitchen with presence, but also with ease. We can’t wait to show you more, but for now, enjoy this view 😍
