Signature project / Kitchen renovation in Loretto
An approximately 22-foot island. Two sinks. Decorative I-beams overhead. A standout Razco project that brings generous scale and warm, inviting details into one connected space.
The standout details
This kitchen renovation in Loretto is built around a simple idea: give people room to cook, connect and spend time together. The island creates the focal point; the beams, cabinetry and lighting give the room its character.
01 / The centrepiece
At approximately 22 feet, the island gives this kitchen an exceptional presence. The pale countertop contrasts with the dark cabinetry, while seating along the front makes space for casual meals, conversation and company during food preparation.
02 / The architecture
Decorative I-beams bring texture and warmth to the ceiling. Their repeated lines connect the kitchen with the adjoining living space, while the dark pendants echo the beams and give the island a strong visual rhythm.
03 / Everyday function
Two sink positions give preparation and cleanup more flexibility. The expansive counter allows different tasks to happen together, with space to set out ingredients, serve a meal or keep a conversation going.
The design process
A kitchen of this scale works when the big decisions connect with the small ones. These are the four design priorities that tie the finished room together.
Consider the cooking area, island seating and access to the dining space together. The aim is a connected room with practical routes between everyday activities.
Bring the work surface, two sinks, cabinetry and seating into one clear arrangement. A long island should support the household’s routines as well as make a visual statement.
Pair the pale countertop and perimeter cabinetry with the darker island and decorative beams. Repeating these tones makes a large, open room feel cohesive.
Let daylight, recessed lighting and pendants play different roles. Together, they reveal the finishes and help the kitchen feel welcoming from morning through evening.
The finish palette
The character of this kitchen renovation in Loretto comes from the relationship between four visible finishes.
A grounded centre for the room.
Lightness across the long island.
Texture and definition overhead.
A shared detail in fixtures and lighting.
Look a little closer
Its relationship to the rest of the room matters as much as its length. Seating, circulation, sink placement and the cooking area all need to be considered together. The NKBA kitchen planning guidelines are a useful starting point for a layout discussion.
The beams establish a repeated line across the ceiling. Pendants bring that rhythm down toward the island, adding a closer layer of light and a visual connection between the ceiling and the workspace.
The proportions should come from your room and how you use it. A kitchen renovation in Loretto or a nearby community can draw on this palette and approach while adapting island size, storage and seating to the available space.
