Thank you for the comments and the questions. It was a wonderful project to work on, our second for the same client.

The kitchen was a collaboration with a great client who thought outside the box and challenged us throughout the process, a skilled cabinetmaker who worked out all the details and executed a challenging project flawlessly, and our overall coordination and vision.

Yes, both upper and lower levels of the “lazy susan on steroids” rotate independently. The counter section, a circular section of the granite countertop, also rotates, providing lots of easily accessible space right at counter level. There is another, lower level only, lazy susan in the opposite corner of the kitchen. That is a refrigerator drawer next to the Aga. The kitchen is organized around a large island with the counter fabricated out of a single slab of sapele mahogany.

Thank you for such an informative answer, and I love the term "lazy susan on steroids"!

If we were interested in installing such an ingenious idea in our kitchen (we're building a new house this summer), do you have blueprints for this that our contractor or we could purchase, or...? We can communicate privately if you prefer - I think that is possible via Houzz.

where would we find a lazy susan on steroids?
