2025 Kitchen Design (Contemporary) Winner: Lake Nubanusit Camp
The goals were to maintain the interior cabin character with the exposed wall framing and wallboards, and yet to modernize and update the building so that it could grow into the future. The kitchen was designed as a central focal point between the renovated portion of the house and the brighter dining room addition for a family of chefs. Teal concrete counter-tops bring color into the space, while cabinet faces are a mixture of bright white and clear maple to introduce rhythm and movement. Cedar board siding keeps the details minimal to push the 1950s modernism that the cabin now celebrates. Sutherland began design work with her clients in the office of Scully Architects, and then took the show on the road, completing the design and overseeing the construction as she kicked off her new practice in 2015.
What the judges said: We appreciate how the new construction pays homage to the 1950s original architecture of the cabin.
