Fluted Kitchen Islands in Open-Plan Residential Interiors

Centered on a detailed fluted timber island, this open-plan residential kitchen establishes a rhythmic axis between the preparation zone and adjoining domestic living spaces. Overhead skylights flood the natural oak herringbone flooring and pale cabinetry with soft, diffused daylight, accentuating the tactile wood textures and sculptural pendant illumination.
