Modern Urban Kitchen

An exposed brick wall on the left provides raw texture that contrasts with the smooth white cabinetry and marble countertops on the right. The cooking zone is recessed into an alcove framed by white columns and a wood beam, with handmade zellige tiles creating a backsplash that catches light at different angles. Four wooden stools line a long peninsula that doubles as a room divider between the kitchen and adjacent living space.

Owners of converted lofts, brownstones, or older homes with original brick who want to preserve that character while adding a functional modern kitchen. The peninsula layout is ideal for open-plan living where the kitchen needs a soft boundary rather than a wall.
