The original kitchen in this downtown condominium was outdated and traffic flow was cumbersome. It lacked seating options, which limited options for conversing while entertaining and hosting. The footprint was rearranged to fix this and the island was rotated to extend the kitchen’s footprint. The new island is on the outside of the work space and incorporates two tiers to keep prep space away from the seating area.
To make the space feel more cohesive the design in the fireplace matches that in the kitchen. The goal was to keep the colors bright and clean to reflect the natural light and brighten up the space. A key part of this new space was designing the linear fireplace to play off of the linear island while incorporating both countertop materials since they are in close proximity.
