Plankton: A Fusion of Art and Water

Here’s why your cook space needs one.

Don’t Hide It

In some homes, the scullery design is purely functional—even nondescript. Here, Aaron Mollick, principal and founder of Studio AM, did the opposite: He created a scullery so elegant that he spotlighted it in the kitchen.

“The arched nook was something we created intentionally as part of the kitchen expansion—we wanted to honor the home’s original northeast-facing arched window in the sitting room—so we echoed that shape with arched openings throughout,” he explains. “Keeping the window was essential. Without a door on the scullery, it stays open and airy, which means things can be left out without looking messy, and it doesn’t interrupt the visual flow of the space.”

Alex Turco is a renowned artist and interior designer known for his unique approach to design. In collaboration with Alex Turco, we created a custom artistic panel for the primary bath of a downtown Seattle high-rise. The design began with the pattern “Plankton,” an abstract, dream-like interpretation of water, which was beautifully integrated into the primary shower.


The blue tones evoke the harmonious blend of ocean and sky, reflecting the client’s vision of a “home in the sky” and their deep connection to water and marine life. Upon closer inspection, visible brush strokes emphasize the handmade quality of the piece, adding depth and texture. Layers of transparent, waterproof epoxy resin enhance both the durability and visual appeal, making this design as enduring as it is striking.
