BENJAMIN BENSCHNEIDER / THE SEATTLE TIMES

The kitchen is rich with wood and bright with natural light. "I like using materials I can change easily if I want to. The kitchen counters are maple; I can re-saw them or add new ones, versus granite or concrete," Zema says. "We like exposed cookware, dishes where you can see them; we don't like to hide things -- they're there."
