Kitchens
Dark mastery Designer Annika Rowson of Rowson Kitchens was asked to create a bold, dark and unique kitchen, incorporating innovative materials, but to not detract from or obstruct the view. The space needed to be functional for a family that entertains frequently.
A custom rangehood was designed to not only make a statement and enhance the high stud of the space, but to also offer storage in the way of open shelving. The G-shaped kitchen has ample benching, a durable work surface and a drinks station.
The design won the Kitchen Distinction Award $60k-$80k at the NKBA 2019 Excellence in Design awards. Judges described the work as an architecturally gorgeous space. “A welldesigned kitchen that is visually stunning, but most importantly, it has been designed in a way that allows the architectural elements of the home to shine. The material selection is clever and the detailing, including the rangehood, is very good. A black kitchen, where texture is used to elevate and give light.�
