TRAMA arquitetos have recently completed a modern concrete home in Braga, Portugal, that includes a black kitchen.
The kitchen, which stands out in the mostly concrete, glass, and wood interior, features a wall of matte black minimalist cabinets (which also include a little door for access to a cat litter box), as well as a black wood ceiling with lighting positioned evenly between the slats.

The kitchen also includes a large island with dark gray stone, seating for four people, a cooktop, and an under-mount sink. Hanging above the island are three simple black pendant lights, while beneath the island, there’s hidden lighting.

Let’s take a look around the rest of the house.
At the front of the home, there are stone and weathered steel walls, exterior lighting that highlights the covered parking area, and a water feature with a garden by the front door.
