Countertops and cupboards should be crafted toa customyet appropriateheight andmodernergo- nomic drawersmake utensils and dishware easily accessible. The interior design of a luxury kitchen is personal, but often styles lean toward simple, stream-lined, minimal, and classic. Unlike the petite rooms of 1950s suburbia, modern luxury kitchens emphasize the space and ameni- ties instead of being cozy and kitschy. Stylized architecture can compliment a luxury kitchen by including decorative beams or vaulted ceilings. Rather than daring colors, contemporary or old world styles with neutral colors and high end materials make the fabulous space fairly timeless. Haiku Makai’s Finest! Beautiful, func- tional and comfortable, this kitchen has everything a chef or guest could ask for, not to mention likely possibility of seeing the humpback whales breech just outside the huge picture windows. The chef ’s preparation and clean up are simplified with all professional appliances including a 6’ side by side fridge/ freezer combination, 6 burner gas range with “pot filler” faucet above, 2 drawer dishwasher. Directly off the kitchen there is a fully equipped bar and formal room, with coffered ceiling. Casual family dinners may be set at the kitchen table or the adjacent covered lanai.
