RESIDENTIAL
CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN
Nestled in the heart of Aspen, the Gibson Residence redefines the kitchen as a pavilion of stillness and sensuality—where structure becomes sculpture, and every surface invites touch.
At its core, a bleached ash island, gridded in quiet rhythm, holds the room with weightless confidence. Brass-wrapped countertops offer a warm, tactile contrast to the soft wood grain, their patina subtly catching the light as it moves across the room. The adjacent dining island—carved from veined Cipollino marble—introduces a painterly softness that elevates function to ritual.
Glass lift-and-slide doors dissolve the boundaries between interior and landscape, allowing golden aspens to cast dappled shadows across stone floors and cabinetry. This permeability is echoed in the architecture itself: reclaimed brick and clapboard siding move indoors, grounding the space in a sense of continuity and permanence.
Brass lighting pendants, designed to feel like floating vessels, anchor the ceiling while echoing the elegance of the cabinet hardware. Together, these elements shape a language of restraint and refinement—a room that does not perform, but inhabits.
Bespoke details are everywhere—but never shouting. Gas burners nest flush into the brass surface, with ventilation seamlessly concealed. The refrigerator, clad in hand-applied shagreen, stands like a sculptural monolith, flanked by built-in appliances and framed in ash. Below it, a glass panel reveals the wine cellar beneath—inviting curiosity without intrusion.
This is not a kitchen—it’s a sanctuary for conversation,
for slow mornings,
for artistry in the everyday.
