Britania
Ivory panels, dark marble and lamplight
Britania is a classic kitchen drawn with an architect's patience. Raised and fielded ivory panels run from floor to cornice, framed by fluted pilasters and a deep crown moulding, so every wall reads as one composed elevation rather than a run of cabinets.
At the center, a generous island in dark marble anchors the room, facing a range set into its own marble-lined alcove. Glazed display cabinets, lit from within, turn china and glassware into part of the architecture. Made in Europe and built entirely to measure, Britania brings the calm of a traditional townhouse kitchen to the way Bay Area homes live and gather today.
