OPEN CONCEPT A traditional, separate cooking area is connected to the main kitchen and living space with a glass door and
windows for the illusion of one big space. Light, hardwood floors contrast with the dark, custom cabinetry and also serve as
an extra reflective surface. In the Chinese kitchen, light, porcelain tiles (selected for their durability) blend with the hardwood
floor. The functional layout is the perfect place for the Guo family to fry, sizzle and experiment.
