RIVERDALE RESIDENCE
Regional Award Winner KDC 2013-14
Cette cuisine est particulièrement rafraîchissante et a remporté le concours de conception de cuisine, grâce au point de vue du concepteur Phillippe Beauparlant de Toronto, qui a déclaré dans sa candidature : “’Remporter un prix’ est très subjectif; pour la propriétaire, la nouvelle cuisine est l'endroit où elle passe la majeure partie de sa journée, elle l'aime, et cela’ nous suffit.”
Ultimately, any kitchen that makes the homeowners happier and enriches their family life is a winner. Beauparlant’s challenge in this Riverdale renovation was to transform a relatively dark, cramped kitchen into a large, more functional space that would not only meet the family’s cooking needs, but also provide a place for the children to gather at the end of the school day. His most significant decision was to remove an adjacent powder room, little used since the creation of a newly refinished basement bathroom. This opened up the kitchen space, and allowed for a more functional, free-flowing design. The new kitchen is notable for its carefully considered details, which include wire frame shelves that accommodate everything from cups to dishes to cookbooks; cabinet hardware that beautifully matches those shelves; custom white millwork; and lighting that contributes a touch of elegance.
The stainless steel appliances contrast beautifully with the clean white cabinetry. A Sub-Zero over-and-under refrigerator and Miele dishwasher integrate seamlessly into one wall, while a classic Wolf 36” range with red control dials is the perfect, space-efficient choice for the homeowner, who truly enjoys cooking.
When the children come home, they can hang out comfortably in the rear sitting area, which now has an improved media and storage center. It’s a new lighter, brighter gathering space that the whole family loves spending time in. And that’s really what counts.
