Charlotte: Carmel Country Club Project
2017-2018 KDC Finalist
Esta lujosa cocina francesa de transición es obra del arquitecto Frank Smith, la diseñadora Kimberly Mauney y el constructor Phil Goodwin. La cocina marca la pauta de toda la casa, por lo que era importante para Smith y su equipo conseguir el aspecto y el ambiente adecuados. Teniendo muy en cuenta las frecuentes necesidades de entretenimiento de los clientes, su pasión por la cocina y su deseo de electrodomésticos de gama alta, Smith creó un espacio funcionalmente sencillo, con un aire de elegancia.
Abutting the living room, the kitchen had to be just as sophisticated and luxurious, despite its very utilitarian purpose. The architectural ventilation hood is an impressive focal point and befits the scale of the space. Smith and team infused the kitchen with luxe finishes, including a waxed, reclaimed oak-beam ceiling, antique French terracotta tile, and rich and inviting plaster walls. The traditional, textured materials contrast the contemporary, stainless-steel appliances for the refined design tension Smith desired. Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances were selected not only for their ability to elevate the design but for their performance. It was of utmost importance to the client that two Sub-Zero PRO 48 refrigerators ground the space—the client wanted the best in food preservation technology and wanted to showcase the sophisticated clean lines of the appliance. Additional refrigeration—in the form of Sub-Zero undercounter refrigerator drawers, refrigerator, refrigerator/freezer, and ice maker—is mindfully scattered throughout the kitchen and scullery for convenience.
Equal thought was given to the placement of the Wolf cooking appliances. The gas range is centered in the kitchen for elegant and easy flow. Completing the cooking artillery are a drawer microwave oven, M series oven, and warming drawer, with the Wolf Gourmet toaster and blender subtly concealed in an appliance garage in the scullery.
Stepping into Smith’s design, the scale and effortless style take your breath away. It is the realization of a passionate chef’s dream. A little culinary creativity is all that is necessary for the kitchen to truly come to life.
