ミネアポリスにあるモダンスタイルのおしゃれなダイニングキッチン (黄色い壁、濃色無垢フローリング) の写真

The dining room boasts seating for four, a separate seating area, room for a sterio stystem and a wall hung library. The room retained it's original tin ceiling and exposed brick wall but added a warm stroke of color on the walls and a blend of woods for the walls including wenge for the wall unit and oak for the dining table.

The most dramatic feature of the renovated dining room is the enlarged and colorful soffit. It also provides indirect lighting around its outer perimeter. Faux painted walls, new furnishings blended with the traditional, and a new chandelier finish off the new look.

Kitchens are seductive when photographed and published, as colors are coordinated, fruit and flowers arranged, clutter removed, lighting just so. What is difficult to tell from glossy images is how well a kitchen really works. The East Bay Kitchen for a Cook is an excellent example of a kitchen that really works. It is a kitchen for an accomplished cook. It is also a kitchen that is independent yet connected to a formal dining room, a kitchen with an informal ‘cafe nook’, and a kitchen ideal for a couple as well as a crowd. It is a true working kitchen for all occasions. There are many things to take into account when designing a kitchen - surfaces, materials, storage, circulation, spatial relationships, natural light. These are all important considerations in designing a kitchen. What is equally important in designing a kitchen is how a person works in a kitchen, and generally, what their kitchen is all about. Is it a kitchen for one or more cooks? Is there a ‘mess factor’ that the client wants to hide? Does the kitchen function purely as a kitchen or as a social center, or both? What is the relationship of the kitchen to adjacent rooms, and if there is a separate dining room, how does the circulation work between the two? For a kitchen to really work well, each one of these items need to be addressed and resolved. There are no generalized correct answers to any of these questions, only a correct answer for each individual cook. The original Kitchen for a Cook was small, dark, and cramped, with no connection to the dining room, which was the main eating area. A discourse began between the architect and the client, centered on how the client works in her kitchen and the desired relationship between the kitchen and dining room, which would remain the primary eating area in the renovated kitchen. Other important considerations were how to incorporate an informal ‘café nook’ in the kitchen, and how to have an easy circulation between kitchen and dining area, for both people and food.

Prized for both interior and exterior use due to its pale yellow color, work ability and longevity, Alaska Yellow Cedar was the chosen wood for this unique, modern home on Fidalgo Island in Washington state.

This impressive home has an open plan design, with an entire wall of bi-fold doors along the full stretch of the house, looking out onto the garden and rolling countryside. It was clear on my first visit that this home already had great bones and didn’t need a complete makeover. Additional seating, lighting, wall art and soft furnishings were sourced throughout the ground floor to work alongside some existing furniture.

Outside the kitchen is a dining area for eight. David Estreich designed the dining room table and chairs along with the custom made pendant light fixture. A geometric fabric on the beige colored chairs reflect the fabric patterns used throughout the space.
