Within Interconnected Changeable Environments (I.C.E.), the Showhome Experience by Jennifer Farrell, every space has been thoughtfully designed around the way people live, gather, and connect. Nowhere is that philosophy more evident than in the Center House kitchen.
Originally a centuries-old French cattle barn, Center House has been reimagined into an extraordinary living environment where historic architecture provides the backdrop for contemporary luxury. The Entertainer’s Kitchen serves as the heart of the home, a welcoming destination where cooking, conversation, and celebration naturally come together.
Farrell approached the space with a deep appreciation for both craftsmanship and hospitality. Original limestone walls and soaring architectural volumes create a dramatic sense of place, while carefully layered materials introduce warmth, texture, and refined modernity.
At the center of the design is a custom La Cornue Château Range, whose timeless craftsmanship establishes an unmistakable focal point. Nearby, Cosentino surfaces introduce elegant performance and sculptural beauty, while ceramic and porcelain selections from Emser Tile provide rich texture and visual depth throughout the space. Litokol Grout from The Tile Doctor completes the tile installations with precision, demonstrating that even the smallest design details contribute to the overall beauty and longevity of the home.
Throughout the kitchen, Grohe fixtures elevate everyday functionality with refined engineering, while Corston switches and sockets and Signature Hardware architectural details contribute understated sophistication. Carefully selected products and finishes through Ferguson Home further unify the space, creating a kitchen that is as inviting as it is timeless.
The Center House Entertainer’s Kitchen embodies Farrell’s belief that the best kitchens are more than places to prepare meals—they are places where stories are shared, traditions are created, and memories are made. It is a space where centuries of history and today’s finest craftsmanship come together to celebrate the simple joy of gathering.
These thoughtful collaborations reflect her vision for creating spaces where historic architecture and modern innovation exist in perfect harmony, demonstrating that exceptional design is achieved through the seamless integration of timeless materials, artisan craftsmanship, and trusted industry partners.
