ISLAND PARADISE

No kitchen should be without ample counter space. So we made sure this dream kitchen supplied enough of it to support the homeowner’s passion for cooking and fondness for mega-scale entertaining. And there’s plenty to go around, including a custom-built island that spans 18 feet and seats nine guests comfortably. The colors and materials reflect the homeowner’s love of nature.
