“The space constraints and the long, narrow footprint were concerns,” designer Bria Hammel says. “A rowhouse presents unique challenges.” The Minnesota-based designer met them, crafting a layout that maximizes the modest square footage. A Wolf cooktop and ovens let the homeowners flex their culinary muscles on one side of the light-filled kitchen while, on the opposite wall, a wet bar with a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator caters to entertaining. Organic shapes, including curved faucets, knobs, and a fan-shape marble mosaic backsplash, contrast the grid pattern seen in windows and cabinetry. Brass finishes on the faucets, custom vent hood, Visual Comfort pendants, and Water Street Brass hardware add glimmer. Knoll barstools let friends and family, even canine companion Penny, cozy up to the Nuvolato marble island.
