Two-toned Veneer Kitchen banner

Award-winning kitchen designer Davinia Sutton created this large modern kitchen around the concept of a front and rear kitchen, anchored by a central box form of two-toned dark stained veneer joinery - linking the two zones and intercepted with a layered island in the foreground for the space.

A monochromatic palette was chosen to accentuate the strong architectural form and boldness of volume within the space.  American White Oak Crown Cut was pressed as a cross-grain panel and given a custom stain to achieve the desired tone.

The front zone serves the day-to-day needs and services an outdoor BBQ area and adjacent family and dining rooms. The rear provides overflow spaces along with additional prep zones, appliances and storage.
