While the kitchen is oriented to face the out- door zone and dining/living space, the architect also created a bay window on the other side of the workspace to take in views towards the city. The prep sink is located in this area. “As the kitchen was a large, open space we had limited room for a pantry. Instead, we intro- duced a scullery behind the main cooking wall. This includes a dishwasher, microwave tower, extended bench space and plenty of storage.” Above: High, ornate ceilings and beadboard wall finishes in the adjoining interior spaces are continued into the kitchen, creating a strong connection despite the drop in floor level in the kitchen area. Left: Set directly behind the island, the cooking zone also draws the eye. A room-length scullery behind this wall services the on-show kitchen. search | save | share at
