With respect to the notion of old-meets-new, the kitchen strikes a comfortable balance between materials. For the center island, Franklin repurposed original barn siding into cladding for the unit, painting it grey. The Corian counter top and stainless steel backsplash provide a cool contrast. A set of antique barstools was a fortunate find for the homeowner. Sourced from a local bar that had closed, all they needed was a little elbow grease to realize their full potential. It took days to remove years worth of nicotine stains from them, but as Franklin exclaims, "It was worth it because the old stools found a new home in an old barn!" The partial wall was designed to address a number of functional and aesthetic concerns. Dividing the workspace from the storage space, it keeps the pantry area out of view, and allows light to carry through this area of the home. Franklin also uses the wall as a means to display his growing teapot collection. "It’s funny," he confesses, "but I think they can entice people to sit down, have a cup of tea and converse (Imagine that in this world of technology!)" Adrienne DeRosa Photography

ものを出さない製作キッチン 炊飯器ワゴン、ゴミ箱引出等組み込みの製作調理台です。換気扇フードも製作で吊戸棚との一体性をもたせました。 収納は余分なものは持たないように手の届く高さとしました。 メンテナンスと清掃性と清潔感で本体外部、扉は白塗装、内部はポリ合板です。 洗濯機位置は、キッチンと物干し場の動線上に配置し、物干しはバルコニー左奥で視界には入りません。
