In this home in the Chenango neighborhood, we remodeled the kitchen to achieve a more integrated space between the kitchen and family room which is now the focal point for this family of five. In order to accomplish the goal, we raised the ceiling and eliminated an awkward peninsula to create a more inclusive space featuring a long Alpine Natural Stone island with two sinks and a 3⁄4 inch raised custom walnut raised bar. To accommodate the highly desired 48” Wolf range we created a new fridge, stove, sink triangle that allows for optimal convenience and family engagement while allowing the main chef to look out their large picture window to the expansive mountain view. Additionally, we have incorporated a separate wine/beverage center and a prep sink for multi-purpose family usage. Opening and rearranging the main components of the kitchen allows for the entire family to participate in meal prep and move about freely.
