Kosher in Baltimore
Miriam and Dovid have 6 kids and live in a small home in Baltimore. Their 3-year-old is autistic. Although counter space was adequate in their old kitchen, low-hanging cabinets over the peninsula obstructed the work area and made the area feel claustrophobic.
Objectives:
• A second sink and 2 dishwashers
• Keep Shimmy safe — a closed kitchen with a door
• Separate milk and meat prep spaces
• Seating for 3 or 4
• Access to the deck and backyard through the kitchen
We put up a wall to separate the kitchen from the dining room. This wall zigzags to include the sliding patio door and an eating nook within the kitchen area, and puts the kitchen entry at an an angle. The door to this closed kitchen is clear plexiglass — a physical but not a visual barrier. The door can lie flat against the wall when open without intruding into the adjacent rooms or blocking the traffic flow.
