Turkish Delight

The kitchen is large, but has a compact work triangle. The large island adds considerable storage as well as prep space, and has a just-for-two breakfast bar at one end. The vent hood is coated in plaster, and the backsplash behind the cooktop is a panel of Turkish tiles brought back from the owners' time abroad. One of the window bays ('cumba') adds counter depth behnd the sink. Cabinets and surfaces are simple in style so the eye is focused on the owners' beautiful collections. There is direct access from the kitchen to the atrium. Way above the refrigerator is a ductless mini-split heating/cooling unit. Photo by V. Wooster
