Cooking with Glass

OPPOSITES ATTRACT. Along the other wall, matching white lacquer cabinets surround separate fridge and freezer columns, a microwave speed oven, and more dry good storage. The island—in contrasting agate gray lacquer—creates the ideal workspace with dishwasher, sink, and cooktop. Drawers serve up ample storage below without crowding diners. A sleek exhaust hood hangs above while two modest pendant fixtures light the island’s eco-smart black countertop. Photography by Anice Hoachlander
