Kitchen of the Week: Ecofriendly and Artful at New Mexico

Kitchen of the Week: Ecofriendly and Artful at New Mexico

Although function and attractiveness were important within the kitchen, the owners needed to emphasize ecofriendly layout. The clients — a pottery artist and also a corporate executive from New Mexico — had only the right cooking area for their new home in the Galisteo Basin Preserve in Santa Fe County.

The couple relied on Mark Giorgetti along with his staff in Palo Santo Designs to make a distinctive and gorgeous area to match their stunning environment at the Galisteo Basin property conservation development.

The main challenge of the project was making sure the overhead lattice worked together with the remainder of the kitchen’s layout. This dropped, deconstructed grid was created by the home’s architect, Justin Larson of VFLA Architects. It’s designed to bring the high ceiling for a feeling of closeness, and also provides a feeling of visual branch from the home’s great room.

A corner of butcher block countertops generates ample space for food prep. The kitchen cabinetry and shelving are created from FSC-certified, zero-VOC and formaldehyde-free alder. LED lighting both above and below the cabinetry lights up the workspace, representing off the easy mosaic tile backsplash.

A butler’s pantry with wall ovens along with yet another butcher block countertop sits just around the corner from the main cooking area. This side area allows for a division of tasks and a more roomy kitchen. This way, the homeowners may cook and cook in the same time with sufficient separation to prevent mishaps.

Giorgetti enjoys the kitchen’s concrete counter tops. The custom-mixed cement was cast in position and combined with recycled glass at a river pattern to mimic the landscape surrounding your home.
