Modern Kitchen Design – Richmond VA – Kitchen Design Bathroom Richmond VA Cabinets Remodeling

Check out or latest installation for DeCOR, the Design Center of Richmond. A medley of textures, this living kitchen display features mid-century modern detailing such as lime green gloss foil doors, zebra wood panels and bamboo wood floors.

One of our favorite parts of the space is the shou sugi ban covered pilaster supporting one end of the raised concrete bar top. Originating in Japan, this technique is achieved by scorching Japanese Cyprus and is typically used as an exterior siding treatment. Through charring, the boards are preserved and become fireproof making it the ideal material for exterior applications. We love how the charred texture contrasts the smooth glossy finish of the cabinetry. Our goal is to re-invent the way materials are used and always push the limits of what is expected.

Another favorite is the raised concrete bar. We’ve included an integrated custom curved sink.

Perfect for entertaining, the bar sink can be filled with ice and used for chilling wine or serving seafood. The curve of this acid stained, 6″ high bar top matches the curve of the concrete countertop below it, again contrasting the sharp lines of the cabinetry. Another way we achieve this balance of materials is in the raw edged slice of beech wood atop the metallic grey suspended wall cabinets.
