the full kitchen
Two-tone cabinetry — matte black handleless base cabinets with integrated pulls. White flat-panel uppers reach to ceiling for maximum storage.
Peninsula with bar seating — white quartz waterfall-style countertop with three plywood bar stools. Microwave and drawers integrated into the island base.
Statement pendant — black dome with brushed gold interior, hung over the peninsula as the kitchen's focal point.
Stainless fridge — full-height, built between white upper pantry cabinets.
U-shaped layout
The U-shape wraps three walls, putting everything within a few steps — cooktop, oven, sink, and fridge. The peninsula extends into the dining zone without closing off the space.
Black base cabinets ground the kitchen, while white uppers and quartz countertops keep it bright. The zellige tile backsplash runs from countertop to the underside of the upper cabinets, wrapping around the window.
zellige backsplash & Miele cooktop
Zellige tile — handmade Moroccan-style square tiles in soft gray with natural color variation and a glossy, uneven surface. Each tile is slightly different, giving the backsplash depth and texture.
Miele gas cooktop — 5-burner, built into the white quartz. Cast iron grates. Concealed range hood integrated into the upper cabinet line.
Oak open niche — warm timber-lined shelf set into the white upper cabinets for cookbooks and display items.
island storage & appliances
Built-in microwave — integrated into the peninsula base in matte black to match the cabinetry. Keeps the countertop completely clear.
Deep drawers — full-extension soft-close drawers below the microwave for pots, pans, and baking sheets.
Black-and-gold pendant — the dome shape with brushed gold interior casts warm downlight over the work surface and bar seating area.
cooking corner detail
Miele built-in oven — stainless steel with black glass front, set under the cooktop for an efficient cooking station.
Handleless design — integrated edge pulls on every drawer and door. Clean lines, nothing to snag, easy to wipe down.
Window light — natural daylight from the corner window fills the cooking zone. Roller blind in a woven texture adds softness without blocking light.
