“…an impressive result for a modest budget…” — NKBA Awards Judges
Oak & Arc was designed for a couple building afresh on land they had known for 25 years. Clean full-height storage keeps the kitchen working quietly, while grey stone, timber and copper notes connect it to the home's cedar cladding. The curved, solid-timber-slatted island is the soft counterpoint: practical, architectural and made for the middle of the room.
Oak & Arc received the 2026 Kitchen Distinction Award - up to $30k.
