Art Gallery Kitchen

Kitchen View

To give the kitchen its own internal sweeping views and connect it to the art-filled rooms around it, a wrap-around, floating shelf displays a collection of art glass plates. That same shelf contains twin, custom-made, pull-out extraction units that disappear when not in use. To replace wall cabinets, base cabinets drawers are 3” to 6” deeper, front to back, than standard. This adds the equivalent of several shelves of wall cabinets above each lineal foot of base cabinets. The backsplashes are hand-cast glass by Rebecca Bergsma.

Volume and Storage

To accommodate “volume” issues, i.e., the varying numbers of people in their home, a “working pantry” helps distribute cooking, clean up, and refrigeration. (Sub-Zero drawers, Wolf induction and gas cooktops, Miele dishwasher in the main kitchen; Thermador “Freedom” refrigerator/freezer units, Wolf double ovens, Sharp microwave, plus, a second integrated Miele dishwasher, and a trash compactor in the pantry.) In the pantry, the orbital finish of the stainless steel countertops maintains easily. Extra-deep, arched-top pullouts and Rakks aluminum shelves handle storage. Full-tiled walls emphasize the “working” aspect of this room.
