Designed as part of an overall house project by San Francisco-based firm Walker Warner Architects together with interior designer David Oldroyd of ODADA, this modern kitchen features a large island with a geometric base.
Inspired by the surrounding landscape outside, the kitchen island, with its white base and black countertop, has a geometric shape with angles and slopes, creating a sculptural feature with an overhand that allows space for people to sit at.

Complementing the geometric base of the kitchen island is a matching table base in the dining nook. Surrounded by colorful banquette seating, the dining nook, with its large windows that look out to the trees, provides a comfortable space to have a casual meal.
