This frequent traveler
wanted a gourmet kitchen that would become the antithesis of the cramped
airline cabin in which he spent so much time.
By removing the interior walls between the kitchen, dining and living
areas, an easy living open space was created. Now light streams in from
across the living areas and the private back yard can be viewed from
anywhere in the living area. With full height cabinetry on both ends of
the kitchen and dining room area, the space is anchored aesthetically.
The rear wall of the kitchen, which looks onto the private backyard, has
light colored base cabinets without uppers to visually open up the
kitchen to the back yard and south light. Full height back painted glass
anchors the stove and hood and provides a spot of color at the range. A
professional stove, refrigerator and wall ovens, as well as plenty of
counter space allows the owner to indulge in something more than airline
food.
