Working with the
architecture firm Ruhl Walker Architects, Arclinea crafted an elegant
and inviting kitchen of warm grey oak cabinetry, coordinating granite
counter tops, and an array of integrated appliances. The kitchen
cabinetry seamlessly blends with existing ribbon windows and a new
floating fireplace, blurring lines that had separated the kitchen,
breakfast room and family rooms into isolated events. Adding deep
drawers, pull-out pantries, and even a concealed workspace for managing
the family calendar, the design provides more storage than before, even
after the removal of large and bulky cabinetry that had hung over a
kitchen island, blocking light and views. A new island is now a bright
furniture-like piece, elegantly wrapped in durable and stylish white
granite, and featuring highly efficient storage, along with a prep sink
and built-in disposal. The kitchen is designed to serve the needs of one
or two serious cooks, a room full of friends, or the more frenetic pace
of young children.
