| Imagine how cloistered and confined these owners
felt when this kitchen was walled off from the living and dining room and
had an 93-1/2" high ceiling! By opening up the spaces, adding three new
windows--including the glass block "window" behind the cooktop, playing
with countertop levels (to reflect the ascending lines), tossing in a bit
of whimsey, this is now an entertaining, functional space. The hardwood
floors are bird's-eye maple. Cabinetry is in cherry. Note these features
on the refrigerator elevation: the arc across the top of the doors and
the arrangement of the drawers. Both illustrate how Landon's background
as a cabinetmaker affects his spatial solutions. |
