Read below to learn more about the importance a kitchen brings to a home, and why the kitchen’s are perfectly equipped and designed at the luxurious Garza Blanca’s private oceanfront residences.

The History of the Kitchen

In the past, kitchens were mainly focused on function alone. It was a simply place to prepare meals, and was usually a small room completely separated from the dining room and living rooms. Kitchens in the past were a contained space used exclusively for cooking and closed off from other rooms to conceal the mess. Family and friends would eat and socialize in the dining and living rooms that were situated nearby in separate rooms. Over time, kitchens started to become living spaces as well as more and more individuals spent increased time in the kitchen. Consequently, newer homes were designed with kitchens that began to open up to other rooms, yet some remained separate spaces. These larger, more accommodating kitchens often had built-in entertainment space including large tables and islands that created a natural flow. Today, the kitchen has become the central hub for social gatherings and is no longer just for cooking alone. The kitchen is now the heart of the home, and most kitchens have a modern, open concept flow that just makes sense for today’s families.  

The Kitchen Island

When it comes to functionality and beauty, there is something special about a kitchen island. With a variety of alluring surfaces for countertops including marble, granite, polished concrete and more, the kitchen island is a work of art that serves many purposes. In addition to creating an abundance of work space for meal preparation, many islands also are designed to have bar stool seating that creates additional space for enjoying a meal. A perfect spot for a quick breakfast, or ideal location for the kids to do homework while dinner is being prepared, the kitchen island is a decorating trend that has lasting power due to its functionality and beauty. At Garza Blanca, the kitchen island is the centerpiece of the kitchen, and the entire suite.
