Officine Gullo | California Dream
Two Officine Gullo Kitchens, one indoor and one outdoor, embody the heart and soul of the living area of
a stunning Rancho Santa Fe Villa, curated by the American interior designer Susan Spath and her studio.
For this project, Susan Spath and her studio were looking for a company that could recreate timeless
settings that could be completely in line with the functional needs, lifestyle, and culinary habits of the client.
Officine Gullo, with its endless possibilities for customized style was the perfect answer to the needs of the US
designer, creating two unique kitchen solutions: indoor and outdoor.
The indoor kitchen is the main feature of a large living area that includes kitchen and dining room. Its
design features an elegant combination of materials and colors, where Pure White (RAL9010) woodwork,
Grey Vein marble, Light Grey (RAL7035) steel painted finishes, and iconic chromed brass finishes all come
together and blend in harmony.
The main cooking area consists of a Fiorentina 150 cooker, an extremely versatile, high-tech, and
functional model. It is flanked by two wood columns with a white lacquered finish for domestic appliances. The
cooking area has been completed with a sophisticated professional hood and enhanced with a Carrara
marble wall panel, which can be found on both countertops and cooking islands.
In the center of the living area are two symmetrical cooking islands, each one around 6.5 ft/2 meters long. The first cooking island acts as a recreational space and features a breakfast area with a cantilever top. The owners needed this area to be a place to spend everyday moments with family and friends and, at the occurrence, become a functional area for large ceremonies and banquets. The second island has been dedicated to preparing and washing food and has been specifically designed to be used by the chefs. The islands also contain a wine refrigerator and a pull-out TV.
The kitchen leads out directly into a leafy garden that can also be seen from the washing area window.
