Voila! This photo shows the iron pot-and-pan pullouts extended -- and the tall narrow cabinets opened up to reveal handy storage for cooking oils and spices. It's always a good idea to store items at the point of first use....so keeping these items handy to the cooktop makes the chef's process so much more efficient. You can see these pullout items closed in the previous photo.

The primary objective of this project was to create the ability to install a refrigerator sized for a family of six. The original 14 cubic foot capacity refrigerator was much too small for a four-bedroom home. Additional objects included providing wider (safer) isles, more counter space for food preparation and gathering, and more accessible storage. After installing a beaming above the original refrigerator and dual walk-in pantries (missing despite being in the original building plans), this area of the kitchen was opened up to make room for a much larger refrigerator, pantry storage, small appliance storage, and a concealed information center including backpack storage for the youngest family members (complete with an in-drawer PDAs charging station). By relocating the sink, the isle between the island and the range became much less congested and provided space for below counter pull-out pantries for oils, vinegars, condiments, baking sheets and more. Taller cabinets on the new sink wall provides improved storage for dishes. The kitchen is now more conducive to frequent entertaining but is cozy enough for a family that cooks and eats together on a night basis. The beautiful materials, natural light and marine view are the icing on the cake.

This photo shows iron pot-and-pan pullouts flanked on either side by tall narrow pullout cabinets that contain handy storage for cooking oils and spices. It's always a good idea to store items at the point of first use....so keeping these items handy to the cooktop makes the chef's process so much more efficient. (You can see these pullout items closed in previous photos.) The photo also shows island equipment including a Wolf warming drawer, a built-in Bosch kitchen machine for food prep, and just around the corner, a prep sink. All in all a very efficient cooking space for the chef!

The setting of this home, and its architectural style, informed the design detailing showcased in the previous photos. It's truly a modern kitchen in the forest.
