At William Charles, Inc. we strive to meet our clients every dream and desire when designing their kitchen, which we affectionately refer to as, “the heart of the home.” These two kitchens in particular are the inspirations of some of our newly completed projects, the two vary greatly not only in style, but as well in function.
Television and movie producer Jeff Franklin called on Richard Landry to substantially re-conceive an unfinished house in Beverly Hills. The architect found inspiration in Andalusian design. He carved the kitchen out of the former family room. Copper, brass and steel were used for the pot rack and the range and pizza oven hoods.
Architect Oscar Shamamian, of Ferguson & Shamamian, collaborated with New York-based interior designer Victoria Hagan on a couple’s summer house overlooking the water on Nantucket. “It was important to capture the spirit of Nantucket in an understated way,” says Hagan. The kitchen, where the family takes most meals, “has the charm of an older house but with a modern emphasis on the relationship to the outside.”
