ObsidianKitchen Studio · Miami

Twelve a year. Five of them.

A Mediterranean revival villa, a Brickell tower, a beach house on Key Biscayne. Different problems entirely — the same two hours at dusk started each one.

Coral Gables · 7 months

Villa Alcázar.

A 1994 kitchen inside a 1926 house, pretending to be neither. We kept the arches and the barrel ceiling, removed everything else, and let a single book-matched slab carry the room.

Before: heavy timber cabinetry and granite counters in a closed layout After: monochrome kitchen with sculptural pendants and a stone island 1994Now

Structural opening to the loggia · Italian lacquer · Book-matched quartzite · Four lighting scenes

Brickell · 9 months

Tower 41.

Forty-first floor, a two-hour service elevator window, and a board that had rejected the previous contractor twice. The kitchen faces west, so the entire lighting scheme was designed around a sunset that arrives through glass.

Before: a stripped-back apartment kitchen awaiting rebuild After: deep navy cabinetry with integrated stainless appliances BeforeAfter

High-rise commission · HOA and elevator coordination by the studio · Marine-grade substrates throughout

Three more

The rest of the year.

Drag sideways. Every one of these began as somebody's least favourite room in an otherwise beautiful house.

Detail

The parts nobody photographs.

Hardware, edge profiles, the inside of a drawer. This is where the money actually goes, and it is the only part you touch every day.
