Hearten

As 2012 speeds to a close, I'm heartened to have had such a great journey this year at RBI.   We are privileged to work with such extraordinary people; our wonderful clients, industry professionals, builders, suppliers ........ the list is a long one.   It truly takes a village.
It is my pleasure to thank everyone involved in our day to day process of fashioning interior spaces, by making a donation to A Loving Spoonful, whose generous acts warm so many hearts. Wishing you the best of this season and a remarkable new year.
With peace, love + respect for all.  Robert     

Lightness Of Being

For our kitchen renovation in a mid-century west coat home, the objective was to create a bright joyful place, that is quite literally the centre of this family home.  The room is bordered on all sides by other rooms and natural light is limited.  Light reflective surfaces and an array of lighting sources  make the redesigned space fresh and a pleasure to inhabit.  

We evolved the functional layout and took the space from darkness to light.  Flooring is a large format porcelain tile from StoneTile.  Custom cabinets are high gloss white lacquer and quarter sawn natural walnut. Appliances: Ovens, hood fan and dishwasher from Miele, integrated Sub Zero and wine cooler,  island gas range top by Viking. Plumbing fittings, Dornbracht.  Surface lighting from Prandina.

Furniture: Adjustable height Miunn stools in walnut from Lapalma, Knoll Saarinen marble top dining table, Eames wire base chairs from the Herman Miller collection.
