Remodeled contemporary kitchen
This remodeled kitchen, of a house originally designed by Oakland architect Clayton Van Wagner in 1952, captures the spirit of its Japanese-influenced Mid-Century Modern lines. This view of the Breakfast nook, is highlighted by the custom made Shoji doors with “Leaves of Grass” motif and the banquet of rift Oak, Cherry, and Maple. Angles and curves in this kitchen both direct and ease the flow of work, add visual interest, and improve access. The cabinets are Australian Lacewood, rift Red Oak, Wenge, and Maple, with a stove backsplash of glass. Countertop material varies as to the intended use of the area: granite generally, with a long stainless steel counter integral to the dishwashing sink, butcher block at prep and eating areas, and pigmented concrete at display/storage areas. The Shoji doors and banquet were fabricated by Scott Wynn.
