Publications  2003 Annual ASID Kitchen TourHomes on tour show how kitchen's key feature should speak to the house. The owners came to us to upgrade their condominium in Park Row in downtown San Diego. Their goal was to change a typical galley apartment kitchen into a sophisticated kitchen that could better function in a future primary residence. The couple has a Poggenpohl kitchen in their primary residence in New York, where the husband is the vice-president of a prestigious fabric line used primarily for contract interior design. The clients requested that we use Poggenpohl cabinetry in our design, in their favorite "Swiss Pear tree" door style. When accented by aluminum and frosted glass cabinets, honed soft gray, green and taupe granite counters, and a warm mahogany wood floor, the result was phenomenal. Efficient use of space was achieved by using a Miele 18" dishwasher, a 24" gas cooktop, and 27" electric convection oven, and a 27" intergrated Sub-Zero refrigerator. By placing the refrigerator at the end of the galley, it allowed us to change the galley shape of the kitchen into a "U" shape. Special corner base cabinets such as the "magic corner" and an oversized aluminum tambour unit were specified to increase storage space. This kitchen is proof that a small kitchen can be functional, have plenty of storage, and achieve a very sophisticated, stylized look. < back |
