What’s wonderful is that the space feels warm and inviting, even though it has this striking masculine vibe. That’s because of the wood-paneled walls and ceiling. Skylights pierce the high ceiling letting light in and stylish pendant lights shaped like hats by Jake Phipps frame them.

On the either side of the room, one wall was reserved for storage. A simple system was designed with iron rods. It harmoniously includes storage for spices, firewood, dishes and a variety of other things and connects the kitchen and dining areas. A simple-looking fireplace stands out with its robust design.

The concrete kitchen island along with the industrial light fixture as well as a series of other significant elements offer character to the space and allow it to make rough finishes look stylish. The concrete block steps down and forms the cantilevered dining table.
