本プロジェクトは子育てをひと段落した夫妻のLDKを家族構成が変化した中でキッチンを中心としたリノベーションです。 キッチンを厨房機器の一つとしてではなく、一つの家具としてとらえ、またこの空間のシンボルとしての役割を果たす空間になります。 この家は15年前に某ハウスメーカーの鉄骨造で建てられています。一般的に鉄骨造のハウスメーカーなどの家はリノベーションやリフォームが困難だと言われていますが、建築家がかかわることによりそれを可能とできる場合があります。リノベーション前はキッチンを支えるように1ｍほどの壁があり、その壁が動線や光の入りを悪くしていました。その壁を取り払いアイランドキッチンにすることのより動線をスムーズに、キッチンの天井をリノベーション前よりも下げる事によりリビングの天井を高く見せる事に成功しています。

Both the design and construction teams put their heart into making sure we worked with the client to achieve this gorgeous vision. The client was sensitive to both aesthetic and functionality goals, so we set out to improve their old, dated cramped kitchen, with an open concept that facilitates cooking workflow, and dazzles the eye with its mid century modern design. One of their biggest items was their need for increased storage space. We certainly achieved that with ample cabinet space and doubling their pantry space. The 13 foot waterfall island is the centerpiece, which is heavily utilized for cooking, eating, playing board games and hanging out. The pantry behind the walnut doors used to be the fridge space, and there's an extra pantry now to the left of the current fridge. We moved the sink from the counter to the island, which really helped workflow (we created triangle between cooktop, sink and fridge/pantry 2). To make the cabinets flow linearly at the top we moved and replaced the window. The beige paint is called alpaca from Sherwin Williams and the blue is charcoal blue from sw. Everything was carefully selected, from the horizontal grain on the walnut cabinets, to the subtly veined white quartz from Arizona tile, to the black glass paneled luxury hood from Futuro Futuro. The pendants and chandelier are from West Elm. The flooring is from karastan; a gorgeous engineered, white oak in herringbone pattern. The recessed lights are decorative from Lumens. The pulls are antique brass from plank hardware (in London). We sourced the door handles and cooktop (Empava) from Houzz. The faucet is Rohl and the sink is Bianco.
