what is this sink???

You need to check out the Toyo 3D sink. I just came across it doing some online research...It looks really cool, but I just don't get how there are deep drawers under the sink!

Let me know what you think about this (scroll all the way down to see the video): http://www.toyokitchen.co.jp/en/kitchen.html

So, a friend of mind did a lot of research regarding the Toyo sink - and I think she said it was about $6k between cost of sink and shipping. Then you have to worry about getting it to fit standard size plumbing, etc. So....she went with something else. If you have a bunch of money to spend, Kallista has a new line of similar sinks by Mick Giulio. Just search Kallista multiere and you'll find them.

On the dishwasher issue re the Stages 45, you can't slide the dishwasher under the side with the shallow depth ledge. So, you end up using 6' of counter for the sink/dishwasher combination with the Kohler stages.

Ok, gorgeous, wonderful. But how to buy? I was in the market for the Kohler Stages, but this is even better, and no difficulties with a dishwasher on the side!

The drawer directly under the sink is not a full drawer - only the front and sides are functional, under the actual sink it is hollow. Blum makes these sink drawers.

I do like the three-tired ridges, though! Great for compact kitchens with little counter space.

Since I haven't really researched sinks, this is the first I'm hearing of the Kohler. What's the problem with the dishwasher?

As for buying the Toyo, the site says you can buy from them, but warranties are void when shipped internationally.

Seems you get a lot more drawer space than the Blum.

So cool.

Jlahav, now that kitchens have become so efficient, the last frontier is that back alley area still maintained under most sinks. We don't use most of the chemicals, etc., stored there every day, so why do they have this prize real estate? It should be given over to much more valuable use, with drawers and pullouts, etc., to hold stuff in daily use around that area, either starting point or end point in their circulation.

On another thread you mentioned either custom or noncustom cabinets. I've read where others with very small kitchens went custom to maximize the use of every inch, which sounds very desirable for your kitchen; but whichever route you take, you might strongly consider getting most of the chemicals, etc., off to a peripheral closet somewhere and putting linens, water glasses, soup pots, whatever, down there, maybe splitting the area specifically in half if it was still the best place for a pull-out garbage can. A narrow pullout on one side could hold the cleaners that need to stay there, and maybe another balancing on the other side for...?

I intended to put drawers right across in mine, but then realized I had no place for large bags of pet food, so, sadly, we ended up storing them there in twin garbage pullouts, which pretty much fill the 2 sides. Next kitchen.
