The client wanted a space that could work as a social hub, at the same time accommodating serious meal preparation. Stone countertops offered durability for active use and avoided the coastal or rustic associations typical of lakehouse design.

Natural wood tones were also present, as well as some Asian-inspired elements. Moreover, her concept used undercabinet lighting and cove ceiling details to create depth.
