A family tied to the food and wine industries worked closely with designer Janna Collins of Matheny Goldmon Architecture when building their 8,000-square-foot home in Huntsville, AL. In particular, they wanted to ensure the kitchen was equipped with all the necessary components for cooking, as well as to be an attractive focal point of their new living space. At the heart of the luxurious kitchen’s design is marble from Antolini.
“The owners, a chef and his sommelier wife, were instrumental in providing the vision for the kitchen as the focal point and heart of the home, explained Collins. “The design concept originated with the homeowners and was expanded upon by the design team. The large island --or chef’s bar -- designed to seat six to eight people comfortably -- surrounds the Lacanche range and hood. The owner’s collection of copper pots is displayed on brass shelving beyond for decoration. Behind the kitchen you will find the working pantry with storage, dishwashing and refrigeration components needed for a busy family of four.”
