Dynamic Art
The kitchen of Dr. Jeff and Nancy Weber
provides a multi-functional space that looks like a piece of art. The
layout, created by Tony Enea of Ruvin Bros. Artisans & Trades,
forms an intimate area for casual conversations with family, as well
as plenty of room to mingle while entertaining a house full of guests.
The working portion of the kitchen is tucked behind a faux finished
column that serves as a point of interest and conversation. Red glass
tiles, color-flecked Corian, aluminum detailing, a sculptural
chandelier, vibrant artwork and the multi-layered, faux-finished walls
create a contemporary space that is the hub of the home.
Grand Expansion
Located on the 20th floor of the Diamond Tower condominiums, this
kitchen was boxed in and hidden from the spectacular views of the
city. Angie Westmore of RCI Remodeling Center helped the owners create
a large, open kitchen suitable for entertaining — a space that now
glows from the light of its western exposure. While taking advantage
of the view was a priority, so was the functionality of the space and
creating a unique design statement. The radius of the soffit mirrors
the radius of the island to create a fluid line within this space.
Cabinetry was customized so the height of the island was consistent
with a window area coffee bar, allowing for interchangeable seating in
these areas. In order to disguise the appliances from the rest of the
living area, an appliance garage was incorporated and a concealed
refrigerator, dishwasher and oven were specified. The materials and
finishes offer what Westmore refers to as a "Colorado
contemporary" style. The owners’ Southwestern art collection
and love of wood inspired this design. Granite counter tops, stainless
and bronze metal finishes and river stone hardware are additional
design details.
