Modern Luxury: Center Kitchen Island

Project Vision: Blending Functionality with Aesthetics

The homeowners of North Bay Road House II sought a tailored cabinetry solution that blended effortlessly with their home’s refined and minimalist architecture. They envisioned a cohesive set of custom pieces that would maximize storage without compromising elegance. Their focus was clear: every element needed to be functional, long-lasting, and timeless.

Our Collaborative Approach

At Lignum, we believe successful projects start with listening. We engaged closely with the homeowners to understand their practical needs and aesthetic preferences. We sketched, revised, and refined until every detail aligned with their vision. From materials to finishes, our craftsmen ensured every component felt as natural to the home as its walls and windows.

Crafting the Custom Cabinetry

Our scope of work for this project included:

• Diamond Box Bookshelf with base cabinet, adjustable shelves, and sliding doors with soft-close hardware.

• Grey lacquer center kitchen island topped with elegant Carrara marble countertops.

• White lacquer kitchen cabinetry with traditional recessed panel doors.

• Built-in laundry cabinets to streamline utility space.

Each piece was meticulously finished to offer not only utility but also an air of timeless beauty.

Results: A Cohesive and Elegant Interior

The finished product brought harmony and sophistication to every room. The center kitchen island became the focal point—both stylish and practical. Its marble countertop offered a sleek surface for food preparation and casual dining, while the lacquered base complemented the surrounding cabinetry. The custom kitchen cabinetry was designed with deep pull-out drawers and soft-close hardware to enhance daily use, all while maximizing storage capacity without visual clutter.

The built-in laundry cabinets provided discreet utility in a streamlined layout, offering both shelving and enclosed compartments for easy access. According to a 2023 Houzz survey, 61% of homeowners prioritize built-in features when upgrading utility rooms—highlighting the growing demand for seamless storage. Most importantly, the space retained a light, airy ambiance, perfectly suited to North Bay Road’s upscale atmosphere.
