My top design goal was to create a functional workshop for cooking that improved the client's lifestyle. The layout was key: especially using separate food prep and clean-up sinks to create individual workstations. The step-in corner pantry is a very efficient use of floor space and maximizes not only storage capacity but also visibility—the client opens one door and can see everything she has on hand at a glance. This is the feature she likes best. The husband is the primary cook and he loves the high-BTU burner Wolf rangetop. It accommodates his 13-inch All-Clad saute pan with ease and makes all his stovetop cooking faster, better, and more fun. Aesthetically, I wanted to create a sophisticated look that would enhance the atmosphere of the living area while defying trendiness. Photo by Lane Barden

By moving the helpers’ quarters to the ground-floor lobby, we were able to reclaim the space for a “dirty kitchen” behind an opaque grey glass sliding door, which contains cooking smells and hides the washing up.

Located in the Highland Park neighborhood of Pittsburgh, this Sheridan Avenue residence had a funky 1970s kitchen remodel with an eccentric angle of cabinets that blocked views to the outdoors and closed itself off from the rest of the house. We were asked to accomplish two things: provide a functional layout and provide views to the backyard from the dining room. Taking advantage of previous structural additions, we created a large opening that allows for the counter to stretch between the kitchen and the dining room. By relocating the cooking surfaces and adding a large island, we restored a sense of place and functionality. Photos © Marvista Kitchen & Bath © Gabriel Nolle Architecture Workshop
