The Testino Project
Designed to maximize both function and visual impact, the kitchen was thoughtfully reimagined as the centerpiece of the home.
The kitchen renovation highlights the home’s impressive ceiling height by introducing strong architectural focal points, including a custom range hood and a slab backsplash details that extended upward to enhance vertical scale.
A refined palette of white cabinetry, clean-lined finishes creates a bright, cohesive, and timeless aesthetic, while a statement island with a 3 ¼ “ mitered edge quartzite countertop anchors the space with a bold, dramatic presence. Stacked upper cabinetry with glass inserts adds depth and visual layering, complemented by thoughtfully designed layered lighting throughout the kitchen that enhances ambiance, functionality, and dimension. A separate dry bar was redesigned as a dedicated entertaining space while maintaining visual continuity with kitchen finishes. The result is a bright, elevated, and more expansive kitchen that feels both highly redefined and comfortably livable.
