Before & After: A Room with a View

The completed project - Easy Sophistication

This Summer, Woodworkers completed a kitchen project at a lakefront, picture-perfect residence in Naples Bath and Tennis Club, Florida.

The customer's requested a modern and unique feel to the kitchen, to complement their eclectic taste in furniture and focused on their casual family lifestyle. They also expressed a desire to somehow transform a bedroom next to the kitchen, into a connecting media room.

Original kitchen

We began designing a contemporary, practical - yet stylish space, connecting the layout of the kitchen to the landscape, light and perfectly framed views of the lake, plunge pool and patio. We rethought the whole space, reworking completely by first removing two walls - opening the floor space to flow from main room, to kitchen with new media room, right through to the beautiful outdoors. We further optimised the view by adding an island featuring a breakfast bar next to the patio doors and streamlined the cabinetry layout.

The finished kitchen features a stylish display of hi-gloss polished paint finish cabinetry with expansive Pompei Quartz counter top space for some serious cooking and entertaining. Finishing touches include; solid walnut drawer boxes with faux ostrich skin lining, a fireplace and lift up pantry doors.
