Better With Age

For as long as Alonso and Johanknecht have steered their design firm, sustainability has been Commune’s philosophical North Star. “From the beginning we’ve had the same fear: that we would add to landfills,” Alonso says. “Our goal has always been to create things that will last forever.” That starts with using natural materials like durable hardwood—instead of ubiquitous but flimsy particle board—for cabinetry and honed stone for countertops, as in this Santa Cruz kitchen. “With a little care, these surfaces will only enhance with time,” Alonso says.
