This family of five found it nearly impossible to cook together due to the close proximity of all the appliances. The T-shaped island created an odd traffic pattern with the majority of the counter space nowhere near the cooking area. By shifting the pantry wall, reconfiguring the island, and breaking up the traditional work triangle in favor of work zones, our design team gave this family the space they needed to gather and socialize comfortably.

This couple knew they wanted professional-grade appliances from the start, including integrated refrigerator and freezer columns, a microwave drawer, panel ready dishwasher, wine chiller and a 48” dual oven range with steam feature. Also important to them: a true focal point. The custom made, concave, floating ventilation hood acts as the focal point over their range. The landing space next to the refrigerator and freezer columns features a flush inset microwave drawer and counter space for the coffee maker and toaster. With a designated morning station, one of them can be scrambling eggs on one side of the kitchen while the other pours the coffee.
