A Chef's Eco-Kitchen
• House Beautiful, 'Kitchen of the Month', February 2011
• House Beautiful: Creating a Beautiful Kitchen of Your Own by Lisa Cregan (Hearst Publications), 2012
• Featured on Apartment Therapy
Designed for a local executive chef and his family of four, this kitchen was designed to be a true chef’s kitchen – but rather than be flashy, the kitchen was to be green and serene. The existing kitchen was too small and did not provide an ‘eat-in’ area. Therefore, the kitchen was expanded towards the backyard, continuing the existing central hallway, with a built-in desk terminating the end of the hallway. Space for high-end appliances was provided, including a commercial grade wood burning pizza oven.
An octagonal breakfast room extends off the kitchen providing both an open view to the kitchen as well as a clear view of the backyard where the family plays ice hockey during the winter. Lastly the exterior was entirely re-sheathed with new siding, trim, roofing, and chimney stone veneer. The existing rear and side decks were rebuilt using Ipe wood.
