The simplest objective of this extensive designer kitchen remodel was to double the size of the space by removing a load-bearing wall between the existing kitchen and the original dining room. This couple worked from home and with two young children, day to day convenience was important to their family. Avid entertainers, they were also known to host very large parties, so the kitchen and surrounding spaces needed to be flexible enough to accommodate both scenarios easily.
The professional-grade appliances dictated much of the design layout right from the beginning. We were working with 60” of integrated Subzero refrigeration, a 72” La Cornue Grand Palais range, and rotisserie, in addition to a dishwasher, speed oven, wine chiller, and two full-sized sinks. Determining the best placement for such large appliances in such a uniquely shaped space meant splitting up the kitchen into two separate zones, each with its own island and sink.
