The kitchen in this desert house incorporates a freestanding bank of rift-cut white oak cabinets, and a long island that serves to screen the benchtop clutter from the dining area. Cabinets on the benchtop form an extended small appliance garage. Beyond the kitchen is the library, which connects to the guest suite and office. The house was designed by Ibarra Rosano Design Architects.
