Primary Focus: Kitchen Designer Los Angeles

A kitchen should be treated as an architectural continuation of your home's living space, not a cold laboratory hidden behind closed doors. As a kitchen designer in Los Angeles turns to for high-performance, soulful culinary spaces, we blur the lines between high-end utility and timeless material art.

We strip away the predictable rows of standard cabinetry, creating inviting, light-filled environments where morning espresso feels like a ritual and cooking for family becomes an extension of natural hospitality.

The California lifestyle is inherently tied to fresh ingredients, open spaces, and easy, informal hosting. Our studio designs around these rhythms by utilizing rich, living materials that show their history over time.

Partnering with the creative team at Magali Sonterre ensures your kitchen becomes a timeless, welcoming anchor, artfully crafted to host generations of family gatherings. We focus on specifying heavily grained Calacatta marbles, deep soapstones, and unlacquered brass hardware that darkens and gains character with every touch.

Every detail is built from scratch by local woodworkers, producing custom millwork that honors the history of the house while cleanly organizing modern appliances.

"We construct culinary environments that grow more characterful with every dinner party. A kitchen must be incredibly functional, yet it should feel as warm and collected as a living room."

We seamlessly blend professional cooking requirements with a thoughtful, custom aesthetic:

 

  • We design hidden appliance systems, cloaking refrigerators and dishwashers behind hand-painted timber panels to protect the architectural flow of the room.

     

  • Our islands are treated as standalone pieces of historic furniture, featuring turned oak legs, open storage shelving, or solid stone workspace plinths.

     

  • We incorporate artistic backsplashes using hand-molded Moroccan Zellige tilework or continuous stone slabs that reflect morning sunlight beautifully.

     

  • We establish built-in dining alcoves and casual plaster breakfast nooks that naturally invite guests to sit down and talk while you prepare food

Whether restoring the kitchen of an early 20th-century Craftsman home or opening up the layout of a modern hillside estate, we are sure that your space will feel deeply authentic to its context.

As an interior design studio focused on detailed residential renovations across Los Angeles, we emphasize the beauty of raw, living materials that enrich the home's history.
