Today I am happy to share a few scenes from Fig's Oak Street Kitchen project located in the heart of Portland's Laurelhurst neighborhood. The final product conveys a sense of history, permanence, and livable scale. The fine craftsmanship convinces the viewer that this kitchen has always been a part of this beautiful 1923 center hall Colonial, and the careful millwork details further support the sense of longevity.
Oak Street is home to a beautiful and active family of five, with a sincere love for the meaning and connection to their space. Our priorities were to first support their family's lifestyle then follow with aesthetics and texture. This kitchen was created for copious amounts of cooking and baking, craft projects, origami folding, and welcoming parties. I for one can't wait to see the patina develop on that 8 foot solid butcher block-- for which I'm sure their active 3-year-old will have no trouble helping out.
The decorative lighting and hardware were all sourced and fabricated only a few miles from the site. While we were mindful with material choices, I do believe the most sustainable feature of this design lies in it's longevity. There is nothing more sustainable that a space that never needs to be torn down or remodeled again.

This project was a pleasure to complete and particularly special to me as I gained new friends as a result of the design process. I predict many fun-filled evenings around the massive kitchen island and an unlimited supply of family time. We are happy to be helping our client furnish their Sunriver home in the near future. Stay tuned for more.

There are several advantages of choosing a granite tile than all of the other stone or wood countertops. They have all the elements of smooth finish and elegant looking surface but there are few things that make the granite tile more efficient and cost saving.
