design-and-build timeline with less than two months allotted for drawing plans and specifications and just six weeks for construction required a realistic approach for managing this kitchen project and selecting the materials. The European couple—he’s from Germany, she’s from Spain—wanted easy-access shelving and drawers for their active cooking style. Instead of the open plan that so many clients request, they wanted the intimacy that kitchen walls create. In addition to the sliding glass doors of the gallery, the consistent use of lower drawers creates a streamlined look that nevertheless provides an astounding amount of storage in this modestsized floor plan. The palette of white custom cabinetry and maple shelving integrates the existing flooring—which remained due to the tight schedule—into an overall plan that feels clean and modern and even provides space for a personalized chalkboard wall.
