The existing kitchen plan was extremely disintegrated. There were three entry points into the kitchen and every appliance or plumbing fixture was placed so that there was never more than four feet of continuous counter space. The solution started with removing one entry point into the living room while creating a pass-thru bar top that gave our client's daughter a place to sit and do homework without being in the way of the cook. This also created valuable wall space where cabinetry and a continuous run counter top could be placed. The pass-thru also provided more light from the living room and a better visual connection into the kitchen. The final part of this solution involved moving the refrigerator into a nook that was created by reframing a former pantry closet. This also allowed the addition of three feet of counter space to the u-shaped plan and the relocation of the microwave so a child would not have to reach over the stove while standing on a stool to operate it.
