CONTEMPORIST: An L-Shaped Kitchen Island Is A Creative Way To Include Seating And A Table

SDH Studio Architecture + Design has completed a new home in Pinecrest, Florida, where a noticeable design feature is a kitchen, that includes two large islands. The larger of the two islands has an L-Shape, and the back side drops down to act as banquette seating with a table for a casual dining area.

The second island has a cooktop and views of the more formal dining area. Both islands have hardware-free cabinets and drawers, while wood cabinets along the wall finish off the kitchen.

Let’s take a look at the rest of the home…

The front of the house was designed with a large lawn that has a path leading to the front door. Plants and lighting soften the exterior of the home, while rain chains add a sculptural element.

The rear of the home shows the U-shape design, with the bedrooms and social areas all having views of the swimming pool through floor-to-ceiling windows.

Along one side of the pool is a deck and covered patio with a BBQ and dining area.

Inside, the living room has a vertical wood accent wall that draws the eye upward to the high ceiling.

Two of the bathrooms include pebble accents, while the powder room has a wall-to-wall vanity.

Here’s a look at the floor plan, elevations, and section diagrams.
