The House of Paonazzo

In the City of Orange, California, this full kitchen renovation—paired with a 200 sq. ft. addition—completely transformed the way this home functions and feels. That small square footage gain made a huge impact, allowing us to open up what was once a maze of small rooms into a spacious, flowing kitchen and living area made for gathering.

Aesthetically grounded by eight slabs of stunning Paonazzo marble, the space is both refined and dramatic. The addition of arched hallway entries pays homage to timeless architectural charm, while Brizo black and gold finishes, including a sleek pot filler, bring in a bold layer of luxury.

The kitchen was built around Viking appliances, including a 60” range, tower-style refrigerator and freezer, and thoughtful additions like a plate warmer, under-cabinet refrigeration, and a dedicated coffee and beverage station. A 42” workstation sink anchors the prep area, and a 32-foot frameless glass door floods the space with light and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Designed and built for a pair of loving grandparents, The House of Paonazzo is more than just a kitchen—it’s a heart-of-the-home space built for hosting, storytelling, and creating memories for generations to come.
