PORTLAND WATERFRONT Condo

The client of this contemporary Portland Waterfront Condo wanted to update the kitchen, living room and powder bath to better reflect their minimalist style and incorporate more light in the home.

Cerused oak panels, new drawer fronts, and new finishes all echo the color palette of the existing granite countertop.

Textured glass backsplash adds interest without overwhelming the space...

...while integrated lighting provides both a functional and dynamic decorative element.

Cerused oak panels and polished nickel hardware add texture to simple white cabinets.

A flush-inset cooktop makes for easy cleaning.

A matte black faucet and irregularly shaped tile with dark grey accents are a subtle yet direct callback to the granite island countertop.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Chelly drew inspiration from the client’s existing island kitchen countertop, which the client wanted to keep. She incorporated cerused oak panels to frame the cabinetry and add interest, warmth, and texture. New door and drawer fronts with simple, elegant hardware were added, as well as back panels to the island that tied into the new cabinetry, while still preserving the island countertop. The existing Sub-Zero refrigerator was also updated with new cabinet fronts to bring the kitchen aesthetic together. The detail on the cabinet doors and drawer styles provided an unexpected feeling of luxury within the minimalist design. New lighting was incorporated to brighten dark spaces throughout the condo - especially the cone lights over the kitchen island, the picture light over the open shelves, and under cabinet lighting in the kitchen. The kitchen hood was cased with sheetrock to allow for the addition of a floating shelf and updated lighting. New flooring was added throughout the home as well.
