Subashini Nadarajah, a creative director, built her own home in Westwood, Kansas. The 2,400-square-foot home, which she shares with her dog Bina, features a sunny eating and dining space, which Nadarajah describes as the "heart of the house."
Nadarajah decided to put windows where a backsplash might go in order to bring extra light into the kitchen. "The birch cabinets were custom-designed to be the length of a wok and the height of a cake dome," she says.
Throughout the house, Java Coffee and Steely Gray paint from Sherwin-Williams make appearances. Nadarajah describes her style as a cross between midcentury modern and Asian Zen culture. The dining room off the kitchen features a Crate and Barrel dining table, a rug from Dwell Studio, and Eames chairs and a George Nelson pendant light, both from Herman Miller. A drift wood sculpture from Cambodia sits in the corner.
