Te Awe Awe Kitchen

This extensive renovation pays homage to the rich character of a Spanish Revival home, thoughtfully reinterpreted for contemporary living. Aged metal, dark timber, and sculptural triple bullnosed marble anchor the design, while soft, sweeping curves echo the original stucco arches, creating a dialogue between past and present. Every detail has been considered, from the way fluted glass dances with light throughout the day to the layered material palette that creates depth, warmth, and a feeling that the kitchen has always been there.
