Colorful Kitchen Fuses Old-World Charm
with Modern Functionality
This project aimed to craft an Old-World-style kitchen featuring state-of-the-art modern conveniences. Overcoming the challenge of a fixed three-story chimney, the design maximizes storage and style within the existing limited space. Bold color and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances elevate the kitchen's aesthetic and functionality, reflecting the client's artistic sensibilities.
BOLD HUES
The kitchen stands out with a bold use of color, reflecting the client's love for dramatic elements. They never wanted “another white kitchen.” This rich palette transforms the space into a striking and cozy environment.
OPTIMIZED STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Despite space constraints, the design maximizes storage with cleverly integrated solutions. Custom cabinetry and strategic layout ensure a clutter-free and stylish kitchen.
PREMIUM APPLIANCE SELECTION
The only appliances considered by the owners were Sub-Zero and Wolf. They chose them for how they seamlessly blend with the kitchen's design, offering both functionality and luxury.
TRANSFORMATION THROUGH CHALLENGES
Despite the limitation posed by an immovable three-story chimney, the design works around it to create a highly functional kitchen layout. This solution preserves structural integrity of the home while prioritizing the old-world charm of the space.
