Central to the home’s experience is the kitchen, the meeting point of the two great rooms. The island concept is based on a contemporary interpretation of a refectory table, where traditional mortise-and-tenon detailing and subtle shifts in stone finishes reference the ritual of shared meals. Bandsawn timber finish introduces texture and tactility. Bathrooms continue the grounded sensibility with aged, solid materials, steel details, and sculptural elements, while cedar linings introduce warmth and reinforce a sense of retreat throughout.
