One island, one stone. A block of veined stone that looks carved whole, and behind it a wall of light-oak joinery rising to the ceiling, hiding everything that needn’t be seen.

Only one opening remains in the wall: a lit niche backed in the same stone, for coffee and the sink. What stays in view is what truly belongs there: fire, water, coffee, and sunlight through a sheer curtain.

Light

The niche is washed from above by a concealed line of light. It grazes the stone and wakes its veining, while across the room a sheer curtain softens the afternoon sun.

The materials

  • Veined stone

    Cool to the hand, quiet to the eye. The veining is the only ornament the room needs.

  • Light oak

    The wood that holds the morning light. Straight grain, a quiet tone.

Material names describe the look as it appears in our visualizations. The exact choice for each home — stone type, finish and supplier — we make together with you.
