Newport Beach Transitional Kitchen Remodel
A transitional kitchen balancing traditional warmth with contemporary form — designed for a Newport Beach family who entertains with intention.
Project Overview
Transitional Refinement
This Newport Beach residence required a kitchen that could bridge two sensibilities: the homeowners loved the warmth and substance of traditional design, but wanted the clean lines and open feel of a contemporary space. The result is a kitchen that belongs in neither category alone — and is stronger for it.
Inplace Studio specified custom cabinetry with shaker-style doors in a warm finish, paired with a natural stone countertop and carefully integrated modern appliances. The island anchors the room while pendant lighting adds a sculptural element overhead.

Shaker-style doors with a warm finish — rooted in tradition but detailed with contemporary restraint and European hardware.
Natural Stone
A countertop surface selected for its movement and warmth — chosen in person at the stone yard for this specific kitchen.
Integrated Living
Modern appliances concealed within the cabinetry framework, pendant lighting as sculpture, and storage designed for daily routines.
