The kitchen addition connects with the rear green space and floods the room with natural light through large horizontally banded, counter height windows. Formaldehyde-free painted cabinetry with countertops made of resin coated recycled paper are easily maintained and environmentally sound.

How did you configure the cabinetry at the corners of the U-shape? - Are they blind base cabinets or just drawer bases butted up against each other? Also, do you find that lazy susan or corner bases are less common with a more contemporary design? Thanks! »
· Comment · 5 weeks ago
Chr DAUER Architects the left side have adjacent banks of drawers, so corner space was sacrificed, the right side has a bank of drawers adjacent to sink cabinet with doors that allows access to the depths of the blind corner. Generally not a big fan of lazy susans because stuff always falls off, and flush overlay door/drawer patterning can not be maintained. I'm a much bigger fan of retractable sliding wire shelf mechanisms that allow use of the blind corner space without requiring the user to crawl inside the cabinet. rev-a-shelf and hafele make nice versions of these.

Could you tell me more about the windows? How they open? Who makes them? Thanks! »

Chr DAUER Architects All the kitchen windows are by Loewen, and are aluminum clad wood window units. There are 3 primary units comprised of a large fixed picture window above or below 2 operable awnings. Each awning has a hand crank operator, located at their bottom "sill". The 3 units were ordered as "factory mulled units" (combined by Loewen rather than on the construction site).
If you need any more info on these please don't hesitate to ask.
thanks

What type of wood floor is this? »
· Comment · 12 months ago
Chr DAUER Architects This is new vertical grain, douglas fir, tongue and groove wood flooring with clear oil based finish. It contains heartwood (deeper orange) and sapwood (lighter orange/yellow) for a variegated layout and affordable price point.

Please Where can I get a quote on the cabinets »
· Comment · 12 months ago
Chr DAUER Architects these are custom cabinets made by a local Bay Area shop. They are made to fit the space rather than based on a mass production module (i.e. no gigantic scribes, soffits or protruding appliances)
If you are in the Bay Area I'm happy to make some recommendations, otherwise a good local cabinetmaker should be able to provide you with a similar product.

I notice the window is close to the countertop, how are the electical outlets placed on this side of the kitchen? »

svakilian Oh, thanks for pointing that out!

Chr DAUER Architects Yes indeed, the required GFI outlets were blocked out between the upper drawer bays (just under the counter top edge), and the disposal switch is a counter top air switch behind the sink

What Houzz contributors are saying:
These funky chairs smack dab in the middle of the kitchen give it big personality.
added by Becky Harris to Primary Colors
Look at that wonderful yellow backsplash. It's just the right amount of bright color, and the bright colored chairs mix right in with it perfectly.
added by Lily Gahagan to Spring Color in the Kitchen
A yellow backsplash and a rainbow of chairs perk up this white kitchen. When the weather finally changes, the wall of windows will invite plenty of sunshine in.
The exposed wood table drives home the clean-lined modernist feel of this kitchen. A tablecloth might be too fussy in this case.
added by Shawn Gauthier to 18 Ways to Make a Kitchen Your Own
Or mix and match the same chair model in different colors for an even more playful approach.
added by Becky Harris to 9 Townhouses from Coast to Coast
Dauer used recessed lighting, lots of white paint, and a skylight to brighten the kitchen.
The kitchen addition connects with the green space in the backyard, and floods the room with natural light through large horizontally banded, counter height windows. Formaldehyde-free painted cabinetry with countertops made of resin coated recycled paper are easily maintained and environmentally sound.
added by departure: architecture planning interiors llc to The Ecofriendly Kitchen: Light Your Kitchen Right
This kitchen is a top-notch illustration of good lighting and clearly illustrates the three types of interior lighting:Ambient: In this kitchen, the recessed can lights and the barely detectable uplighting on top of the upper cabinets are the ambient (or general) light source, which provides an area with overall illumination.Task: Here the pendants over the table and the undercabinet lighting are the task lighting, which helps you perform specific tasks, such as preparing and cooking food.Accent: This kitchen's pendants also act as accent lighting, which creates visual interest.This kitchen also keenly incorporates natural daylight with a skylight and a bank of windows at counter level.
Splash of YellowThis appealing, light-filled kitchen sports a band of color at the backsplash and via the dining chairs. This is a great option for someone who wants a very light, soothing and restrained palette but with a little twist.
