And because this was a getaway home where the owners’ focus
was more on restaurant outings than on home-cooked meals, the
kitchen cabinetry could be scaled back. Instead of to-the-ceiling
wall cabinets, the new installation features an LED-lit floating wall
cabinet, giving a far lighter, more contemporary look. An under-the-
counter refrigerator and freezer drawers and a compact Miele speed
oven complete the highly functional but minimalist package.
The goal of maximizing every inch of space and establishing
an open flow continued in the treatment of the dining area. Here,
Charalambous simply extended the custom-designed dining table
from the kitchen island as a space-saving move while still providing
comfortable seating for six. The cove ceiling mimics the size and
shape of the table below and an organically inspired LED chandelier
heightens the drama.
