Barton Creek

To achieve this, the design team introduced a striking contrast of materials with Calacatta quartz countertops paired with Carbon Gray kitchen cabinets. These choices provided a bold yet balanced design, with the light, veined Calacatta quartz adding a beautiful, organic touch and the rich Carbon Gray cabinets adding sophistication and depth. The space was enhanced further with whimsical lighting and a large picture window, allowing natural light to flood the area and highlight the elegant design. In collaboration with Kasey McCarty Interior Design, the team introduced a bold design-the floor-to-ceiling Carbon Gray matte lacquer cabinetry. The bright white island helps to maintain a crisp and clean ambiance. This contrast between the two modernizes the space, adding a contemporary feel while retaining the home’s charm.

Client Vision
The clients wanted to brighten up and update the kitchen and dining areas from the dark wood cabinetry, brick arches & barrel ceiling and lack of lighting. This was the last phase of a full home remodel meant to modernize the kitchen and retain the Mediterranean style of the house, built in the early 2000s. nestled in the downtown Barton Springs area. Working closely with interior designer Kacey McCarty, we developed a very clean modern aesthetic. She has a long-lasting relationship with the homeowners and could easily make design decisions for their style. By using different cabinet depths and layers of lighting, we created movement and display areas to add pops of color. Lastly, blending Calacatta quartz countertops with Carbon Gray cabinets, allowed us to achieve a fresh, sophisticated look that fit the homeowners' needs and lifestyle.
