Before & After Kitchen in Washington, DC
Design
by #SarahKahnTurner4JenniferGilmer in Washington, DC.
The
clients were downsizing from a large gourmet suburban kitchen to a smaller
footprint but did not want to compromise on storage. Working with architect
Christian Zapatka, AIA, we ripped out the brick pizza oven (left) and the
barreled ceiling to open the space to its full potential. Careful consideration
was given to cabinet inserts. We incorporated tray bases, drawer dividers,
spice and cutlery inserts and cabinets that go as close to the ceiling as
functional. Every cabinet had a function but the flexibility to be
interchanged. We increased the countertop space on both sides of the sink by
moving the cooktop to the island. Using stainless steel doors on the cabinets
above the fridge and oven columns, we created additional visual height and
balance. This helps anchor the space between, allowing for floating shelves to
display an international collection of accessories. The clients, who travel
extensively, collect vintage paper and are fascinated by its intricate
patterns. The floating shelves gave us an opportunity to highlight the
beautiful handmade tile backsplash the client selected that is similar to the
patterns they love in their hand-marbled paper collection.
