At Dark Horse, our work stretches way beyond the kitchen, and the Olympic home is another great example of this.

In this new home, our contributions included:

The kitchen cabinets and island.
The “surround” for the fireplace.
Floating shelving in the study.
All bathroom vanities.
Master closet.
Laundry cabinets.
Lockers.
A Murphy bed.

The Olympic home, designed by Lightroom Inc. (architecture) and Suzanne Seymour Interior Design, is a beautiful three-level modern home with detached garage and a separate studio apartment.

With the exception of the white kitchen and laundry cabinets and the red vanity in the kids’ bathroom, everything below was crafted from walnut or stained walnut veneer.

The kitchen features custom gloss­wwhite cabinetry and Thermador appliances.

The kitchen features custom gloss-white cabinetry and Thermador appliances. Unlike most kitchens we work on, we had to finish the tops of the cabinetry due to the unique design of this home, which is open from the main floor to the rooftop terrace 30 feet up. Solid walnut island with waterfall edges (grain is matched from the sides to the top).
