BEST KITCHEN
POMELO PLACE A N D M A ST E R S CO L L ECT I O N
In cra ing the kitchen design for the new construction Pomelo Place home, And Masters embodied three guiding principles: flow, materials and connection – a testament to their dedication to the family of four. The clients’ vision was clear; they sought a kitchen that not only captivated the eye but also functioned seamlessly. And Masters, in close collaboration with the homeowners, delved deeply into every detail, meticulously curating a space that married form and function effortlessly. With precision and foresight, every aspect was considered, from appliance placement to storage configuration, ensuring optimal functionality for everything from hosting a party to preparing a meal for two. The kitchen exudes an innate flow, maximizing every inch of usable space. From the outset, the pantry and dining areas were envisioned as extensions of the kitchen, forming a cohesive culinary experience. Responding to the clients’ desire for an inviting ambiance and a connection to the outdoors, green cabinetry was embraced, echoing the adjacent outdoor living spaces. The modified shaker-style cabinetry, embellished with a custom glaze and meticulously cra ed by Sarasota Architectural Woodworking, adorns the space, anchoring the grand island — a gathering hub for six, complete with a porcelain farmhouse sink and Caesarstone countertops. The drama unfolds with a lime-washed range hood and a textured Ann Sacks tile backsplash, se ing a moody backdrop for the vibrant island. The pantry mirrors the herbaceous tones, featuring custom mosaic flooring and brass lighting, drawing the gaze upward to its treasures. And Masters’ design strategy centered on creating a welcoming, serene heart of the home, seamlessly connected to multiple spaces. Situated adjacent to the living room, the kitchen integrates into the dining area, where the culinary experience and dining function harmoniously intertwine. The shelves, adorned with the clients’ vibrant vintage Fiesta ware, complement the stained wood beams, creating a visual harmony that resonates throughout.
