Ocean

Oasis
By Chelsie Butler

Dated kitchen in Mexico is given
ample space and a look to match
the rest of the beachfront property
(Left) Custom-designed
ironwork on the cabinets
next to the range enhances the view from the living
room into the kitchen.
(Far left) A customdesigned antique copper
hood is the same material
as the hardware in the
space.

A 15-year-old drab, cramped kitchen in Baja California Sur, Mexico, was in
need of a complete gutting to reflect the mood and look of its high-end,
oceanfront home. According to designer Sandra Espinet, a renovation is
often times even harder than a total rebuild because during those projects, a contractor helps out extensively. Luckily she has her own in-house
architect to perform that kind of work for her.
"Nothing was of the quality my clients expected out of their home,
and they wanted a wider space that opened up onto the living area,"
said Espinet. "We created a truly open floor plan so that while the wife
is cooking, her children can be at the countertop doing homework or
playing, and her husband can be watching TV - all in the same space."
