Bayfront Rustic Hideaway

3rd Place Traditional Award KDC 2017-18

Nichée sous les pins, sur les rives d'un estuaire de Floride, la demeure Bayfront Rustic Hideaway émerge d'une mer de verdure. À l'intérieur, la conceptrice Erika Powell a créé la cuisine dont rêvaient ses clients’. Organisant souvent des dîners et des cocktails, les propriétaires avaient besoin d'une cuisine capable d'accueillir un grand nombre d'invités. Dédiée à leurs besoins fonctionnels, Mme Powell était également déterminée à réaliser un espace séduisant et accueillant dans lequel les propriétaires et leurs invités ne pourraient s'empêcher de s'attarder.’

Having previously owned Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, the clients felt there was no other option. Under the warm glow of a stunning metal hood cover, the 48” Wolf range awaits its orders. Behind the range, a butler’s pantry spans the entire length of the room, providing convenient preparation and storage space. In the main kitchen area, white quartzite countertops and two mirrored sinks offer guests and hosts the opportunity to mingle and cook together. Decentralized Sub-Zero refrigeration units placed throughout the space keep fresh foods at arm’s reach. Sub-Zero wine storage units in the bar area provide ample space for the client’s wine collection and centralizes the social action—eliminating the need for visits to a cellar or separate bar area. Continuing the theme of fluidity throughout the space, folding windows and doors connect the interior with the spacious covered porches that line the home’s perimeter.

While the soaring, cathedral ceiling creates a sense of gravitas, it posed a unique challenge to create an inviting space. Powell expertly counterbalanced the 34-foot ceilings with warm wooden floors and impressive light fixtures over the island. Ivory shiplap walls, exposed wooden beams, and natural stone provide a rustic feel,

while the sage-colored cabinetry mimics the greenery outside. Warm metal fixtures add a finishing, welcoming touch. With every thoughtful detail, Powell curated a space that was beautiful yet functional, large yet approachable and warm.
