“They wanted to be very true to all the materials we used,” Rowell says. “So any time we brought wood in, Karin was adamant she didn’t want it painted. The warmth of the wood and the fact that the cabinetry is Shaker style, not modern flat-panel, make the industrial feel more familiar and warmer.”
The couple are also very utilitarian, Rowell says, and they “wanted durable finishes that are classic.” Her firm designed the oak cabinets; the open shelves were inspired by some the clients had made themselves for a previous home, with threaded rods supporting wooden planks. The stainless steel countertops are edged in wood.
“Karin is a printmaker, so a lot of the surfaces in her studio are stainless,” Rowell says. “That surface makes her feel at home.” The floor is the original concrete warehouse floor, polished and sealed.
