The goal for this house (new construction) was to create an open floor plan where the kitchen, living and dining rooms allowed for large gatherings where everyone could enjoy the views and one another.

We looked to the site to get cues for the design- the glass in the upper cabinets has a wave in it a nod to the Columbia River which runs beneath the home. Honed granite counters create an easy to maintain yet durable surface without adding too much shine.

The family entertains often, and the stove centered in the island allows the cook to graciously interact with the guests.
