Carmichael Avenue

Inspired by Midcentury design, this Bethesda, MD kitchen masterfully balances warmth and high-contrast drama with natural materials, clean lines, and modern functionality. As the centerpiece of the newly built home, the kitchen was designed to accommodate the homeowner’s love for elevated, large-scale entertaining, professional cooking, and everyday family life while maintaining a refined, residential feel.

A custom blend of natural white oak and matte black cabinetry lays the foundation, while a 48” BlueStar Nova Series Range in Matte Black with Brushed Brass Trim serves as the focal point of the space. The statement-making range grounds the kitchen’s high-contrast palette, complementing the organic textures and warm materiality that bring depth and balance to the design. The kitchen seamlessly connects to a large dining area and an outdoor patio, creating a cohesive transition throughout the home with an emphasis on openness, functionality, and intentional flow between spaces.
