Vista Ocean

It is always an honour to be selected by a client and

trusted to create a kitchen for their project. Often we will work in colloboration with other designers, using their plans and specifications; in this kitchen, however, we worked directly with the client to produce our own plans and designs that met their specific vision and criteria. The results were undeniable - this house was not only our most popular job on social media in 2020, but it was also our nominee and Silver award winner for the 2020 CARE Awards. This is “Ocean Vista.”

“Ocean Vista”’s design may seem simple from the outset - slab cabinetry, a kitchen island, and an adjacent pantry. But look closer and you’ll notice the many custom details added to bring this kitchen as close as possible to the client’s dreams - starting with the kitchen perimeter. The cabinetry uses a mix of matte white “Harmony” material and oak veneer; the Harmony is stain-, discolouration-, and chemical-resistent and also shows no fingerprints; the oak veneer was customstained by our finishers to achieve a warm honeyed tone that both complements and offsets the soft white cabinetry. We combined appliance panels, built-in appliances, touch-latch hardware on the uppers and minimalist tab pulls elsewhere, and a simple crown in order to achieve the subdued and simple profile that defines this kitchen. The colours are warm and bright without pulling focus or being too muted of a palette.

Another custom creation was the use of “hidden” doors to the pantry, located next to the fridge. The doors open up to the pantry space and sit flush with the surrounding cabinetry while closed. It was an effective way to save space while keeping the entrance in line (literally) with the rest of the perimeter. It features “the cleanliness and appeal of the modern look combined with the convenience of multi-room access,” says designer Roy Sandsmark. Other built-in hardware such as the island dishwasher drawer, pulldown upper cabinet storage, and spice pullouts (further explored on page 7) keep the daily components of the kitchen out of sight, but still on hand.

The island was another piece that highlighted the custom nature of our work. We gave it two tiers - a lower wood countertop and a higher stone one, which included a waterfall edge - in order to accomodate guests without disrupting the working nature of the island. This layout is perfect for entertaining and keeping the social area separate from the often-messy prep and cooking area. The subtle veining in the stone countertops and matching backsplash complements the stained oak and ties both design elements together. Situated above the island is a custom oak ceiling panel that acts as both an accent piece and a bulkhead to hold the pendants (and is also backlit itself, a perfect addition to the recessed puck lights that line the perimeter) (cont. on page 10.)

PULL OUT STORAGE One thing you may notice about all the kitchen photos in this magazine is the lack of countertop clutter. While part of that is due to careful staging, another factor is the multitude of storage options available. Here are a few options for lower or upper cabinet pullouts: •

Spice pullout - The name says it all; a spice pullout is a metal or wooden rack that houses your spices and other small bottles. Spice storage can be contained in either a vertical cabinet pullout with railed baskets, or in a drawer with the application of tailored spice inserts.

•

Lower cabinet pullout - Attaching racks and baskets to the cabinet doors allows for easy pullout movement and keeps your things to the front of the cabinet. Basket size and height can be customized to accomodate different sizes and heights of products.

•

Pantry pullout - The pantry pullout incorporates the same smooth pullout motion as a cabinet pullout, but on a much larger scale. You can customize the height, number, and width of the attached baskets and give yourself the extra level of organzation you deserve.

Another popular feature of “Ocean Vista” was the sitting/ living area. The rest of the house follows the kitchen’s palette with the combination of oak and matte white slab cabinetry prevelant in most rooms; the living area is no exception. Oak is used as an accent through the medium of the floating hearth, as well as the accent band, floating shelves, and the seating section of the open-shelving unit.

The open concept of the living area storage sections allow the built-ins to serve multiple functions.

Firstly, the open shelving is a perfect way to showcase personal items and to add little touches that tie the room’s design together. The floating shelves allow for easy display and access to the multitude of items, from picture frames to books, candles to electronics, and even a basket of blankets to accompany the built-in fireplace. Secondly, the cabinets under the seating area are used to house the stereo equipment, keeping it safe and unobtrusive. (Wondering where the TV is? Look no further than the artwork above the fireplace; when it’s “on” it’s a perfectly functional TV, and when it’s “off ” it doubles as a piece of art.)

Finally, the floating hearth segues cleanly into a thick oak countertop that serves as additional seating. While it’s not the traditional window-side reading nook, there’s something to be said for having a place to curl up by the fire. And some day, when we’re allowed to have guests again, the extra seating will definitely come in handy.

SUSTAINABILITY One of the of the most important considerations

we make when designing is longevity. The aim is to create a space that is so well-tailored and high quality that it negates the need for constant replacement. This benefits the homeowner, the environment, and even us.

Our sustainable attitude starts with the materials we use and extends to the high-quality hardware and finishes we employ as well. Here’s a closer look at the environmental considerations of each component of our cabinetry: •

The 3/4” birch plywood used for the cabinet boxes is made from renewable resources; last longer and stand up to use better than alternative products such as melamine

•

The “Super Matte” Harmony material core conforms to Carb2 (Phase 2) standards for formaldehyde emissions (cont. on page 12)

Overall, one of the most conceptually simplistic designs we did this year turned out to be one of our most popular kitchens. It just goes to show - a kitchen can look good, but it still needs to be functional as well.

•

Our finishing products meet some of “the most rigorous 3rd party chemical emissions standards”. A few are even made with renewable raw materials, which causes a carbon reduction in both the manufacturing of the product and in our use of it. The finishes are good quality, durable, and meant to achieve great results in both look and use. From matte to gloss, mirrored to stained, our finishing products put health first without sacrificing longevity or quality.

•

We use hardware that is meant to last, both in terms of material used and longevity in the kitchen design. The pullouts, pulldowns, and other cabinet hardware we use is not only made of durable, quality materials, but it is also top-notch in terms of customization, meaning that once a certain configuration or method of use no longer works for the client, it can be rearranged rather than replaced.

Our goal in the manufacturing and design of our work is to create “lifetime” cabinetry that will serve you just as long.

Walnut

Wonder

This house combines the best parts of natural

materials and modern design. For the kitchen we used a mixture of rift-cut walnut and white lacquer; the intricate detailing of the walnut is further highlighted by the contrasting simplicity of the surrounding white slab. This dichotomy is repeated throughout the house through continuosly inventive uses of rustic materials in modern ways.

16

The geometric design of the ribbon-cut walnut doors encases equally up-to-date hardware such as pulldown shelving (see page 18).

Other design features include the panel-ready refrigerator, the built-in double wall oven, and the deep roll-out shelves in the pantry unit (which range in depth to accomodate different sized products). The kitchen island not only has everything needed for entertaining - a prep sink, a built-in wine fridge, and a countertop overhang that allows for lots of bar seating - but also upholds the perimeter’s design with the use of walnut and dark countertops to offset the white lacquer majority. The white cabinetry frames the center portion of the kitchen wall, where the custom walnut hood unit/uppers

and dark tile backsplash are situated, in order to bring attention to the contrast and highlight the craftsmanship of said piece. 1/2� walnut is also used to frame the cutout section and enhance the feature.

The adjoining pantry (not pictured) continues the theme of custom design and practicality; it features highlights such as open shelving, a designated area for stool storage, and tray dividers, not to mention an additional sink and dishwasher. The open concept of the kitchen, dining room, and living area, combined with a pantry that is tucked away but still easily accessible, maximizes effieciency and promotes a natural flow throughout the most heavily trafficked areas of the house.

The adjacent rooms were also a fun challenge to undertake. Directly behind the kitchen and beside the pantry is the utility room, which houses the washer, dryer, and related appliances and storage (see page 23 for a closer look at the laundry room design); the adjacent walk-in closet is handily connected to the laundry room through tilt-down hamper drawers that make moving dirty clothes a cinch. (cont. on page 22)

PULL DOWN SHELVES In the last article we explored a

selection of pullout hardware that is usually situated in lower cabinetry; in this section, we’re moving up (literally) to pullouts for uppers. The pulldown shelf (pictured on the right) is an accessible way to bring the contents of your uppers within reach.

The mechanism is centered in the cabinet box for easy access and allows for adjustments to be made to height, load capacity, and basket size. The easygrip handle ensures ease of movement, and the soft-close technology means that the mechanism will slide back into place safely and completely. The pull-down shelves are completely contained within the cabinet, allowing for concealed storage (see page 20). There are multiple mechanisms available, including double-tiered, and most devices have movement assistance and will lock in place while in use. No more dragging a chair over or dropping canned goods on your head!

The closet combines banks of drawers, doubleand single-hang areas, and adjustable storage in the form of shelving and a shoe storage pullout. Just down the hall is the master bedroom and ensuite (pictured on the previous page) - here the walnut not only features on the slab drawer fronts, but also on the mirror frame and the top trim (which in turn lines up with the top of the window mullion). The vanity handles are suitably low-profile and pair well with the vertical grain walnut drawer fronts. The mirror is backlit for a soft (and flattering) light source, and the floating vanity is an aesthetically interesting design choice (and much easier to clean under).

While some areas combined white and walnut equally, others used one or the other to greater effect. The library (pictured below) is comprised of mostly white lacqueresd and open shelved cabinetry - the perfect way to showcase and highlight the artwork, personal effects, and electronics located in the room without overwhelming the eye. The area behind the open shelving is wallpapered in a complementary, subdued pattern. The walnut is once again used

Tony Colangelo Photography

as a highlight material, running the length of the drawer fronts under the shelving units and encasing the large cushioned reading nook in the window.

Conversely, some areas such as the entry way and the elevator utilized only full-height walnut panels (see page 26). It’s certainly the most broad and singular use of walnut in the entire house, which means guests are greeted immediately upon entry by quality craftsmanship and a stunning display of the feature wood. The “bookmatched”, vertical grain is really apparent in the full-height panel and the walnut really gets a chance to shine.

The open access to the room beyond allows the white walls to constrst with the darker wall of walnut without detracting from its stunning effect.

Throughout this home care was taken combine and contrast white lacquer and walnut in a way that was cutting-edge, but with a warmth that is often missing in modern designs. We never want to sacrifice quality or practicality in the pursuit of a “wow” factor; rather, we like to combine innovation with tried-and-true methods that guarantee high usability along with the impressive details.

PULL OUT HAMPERS Nobody likes seeing piles of dirty laundry (if

only because it reminds us that they need washing).

Alleviate your guilt and maximize your space with pull-out or tilt-down laundry hampers. The laundry is stored and concealed in the custombuilt cabinetry; some hampers tie directly into the laundry chute for easy and accessible collection throughout the house; the one pictured to the right sends clothes into the adjoining room when vertical.

Multiple sizes of hamper inserts are available as well.

Pull-outs can also be used as storage for laundry room essentials (detergent, dryer balls, etc) and even fold-away ironing boards and broom racks.

While open shelving can be a cute way to display your baskets (and keep track of how full they are) , let’s be honest -- sometimes we don’t want anyone to see how much laundry we have, least of all ourselves.

THE ACCENT WALL W

“

alnut Wonder” contains one of the most challenging pieces of millwork South Shore has ever undertaken - an accent wall in the media room comprised entirely of bookmatched walnut slats. The intricate customization and dedication to detail combined to create a bold accent piece that still ties in the with the rest of the house. The process behind the fabrication and installation of this stunning piece was lengthy but obviously so very worth it.

The wall started as a concept (literally) provided by the project’s designer. The only details specified were the pattern and the integration with the bulkhead; the rest of the execution was up to South Shore’s team of designers and fabricators. Each strip of walnut was carefully cut, sequenced, and handfinished with clear polyurethane to achieve a stunning result that is used to separate the bar space from the media room. The slats were inserted into the bulkhead (which also accomodates the projector); the goal was to elimate visible fasteners where the wall and ceiling met, which necessitated the intricate process of cutting pieces of the bulkhead out to slot the 1/4” slats into place (also known as “dadoing”). The end result is an elaborate yet securely fastened divider that operates on both an aesthetic and functional level.

There are lots of other ways to give your space an accent wall (most being less involved that the project in question). Here are a few ideas to highlight one of the integral pieces of your space:

•

Wall colour - One of the most simple ways to accentuate a wall is to paint it a different colour from the others. This could mean leaving it white or plain, choosing a drastically different colour that really makes it stand out, or picking something just a tone or two lighter than the surrounding walls. Placement of the accent wall will depend on available space, lighting, and furniture. The best part is, if you don’t like the colour after a while and you want all four walls to match, you can easily paint over it.

•

Millwork panels - Though they don’t need to be as elaborate as our strips of walnut, walls comprised entirely of millwork or covered in millwork panels can lend an element that ties the whole room together.

This is especially effective if the millwork on the wall matches that of the cabinetry (top left). We’ve also used millwork panels to conceal hidden doors, stereo equipments etc; there’s no reason your accent wall doesn’t have to be practical as well!

•

Patterns and designs - Rather than just hanging artwork on your wall (bottom right), why not turn the whole wall into a canvas? Depending on the room - a media area, a children’s room, a games room, etc - this could include anything from wallpaper to a custom painted mural. Your imagination (and your budget) is the limit.

Oak

While we love to work on new construction we also

love ourselves a renovation. There’s something to be said for working with what you’ve been given and figuring out how to reconfigure a space to better suit the client’s needs. This job was a paragon of simplicity - simple design, simple palette, and simple layout. This subdued palette in turn leant even more effect to the bolder elements of the design, which included the posts and the hanging fireplace.

Much like “Ocean Vista” the kitchen has a white lacquer perimeter and solid oak slab for the island. The white stone countertops are thin and sleek, and the large windows allow enough light in for the kitchen’s airy and bright aesthetic to fully express itself. The open floor plan segues neatly into the dining and living areas. Though the wall space is minimal - there are limited upper cabinets and the main cabinet wall is mostly used to house the appliances - there are still a few perks that increase the function of use and storage capabilities of this kitchen. These include pull-out garbage units, panel-ready and built-in appliances (see page 34) and placing the cooktop on the island saves precious counterspace on the perimeter.

32

The island is comprised of several banked drawers and three cabinets on the outward-facing side.

There is ample storage space in the perimeter lowers, including a corner unit, and even more in the form of a pantry located behind the suspended fireplace.

Having a more compact kitchen doesn’t have to mean sacrificing storage space!

In order to complement the side panels and fills, the Dekton countertops are as thin as possible. The recessed pulls (see page 39) are actually routered directly out of the door and drawer fronts, allowing us to avoid handles jutting out and marring the sleek profile. All these elements combine with the simple and light colour scheme to create a minimalist effect that still manages to be warm and inviting.

Though the floor plan is open through the kitchen, dining, and living area, there is a “pocket wall” that can be slid out to close these areas off from the rest of the house, allowing the kitchen to be admired as a self-contained unit full of added perks (continued on page 37).

PANEL-READY APPLIANCES If

you have a cohesive and sleek design profile there’s no need to interrupt it with all of the appliances! Flush-mount builtin appliances such as wall ovens and micro drawers help maintain a low profile, but sometimes you can take it a step further and use a custom panel that matches the surrounding cabinetry (see right) on the appliances that allow you to safely do so. Appliances are often the most heavily-trafficked areas in the kitchen, and appliance panels serve the double-duty of protecting your appliances and maintaining your design aesthetic.

The broad expanse of the door and drawer panels also allows for grain patterns to be seen to their full effect. Likewise the coloured lacquer gets its chance to shine (less so if the finish is matte) through the unbroken planes of the wall of cabinetry.

The bathroom is another shining example of how white and light colours can be used in dynamic and interesting ways. The Dekton countertop practically pours itself into the sink shape, and likewise the bath and shower material gives the impression of finely-honed marble. The fixtures are simple and low profile; each area is demarcated by some unique element, whether it’s the step up to the bathtub platform or the wall between the shower and toilet; and despite the white majority there are elements of bolder design, such as the black beams and knotted wood of the ceiling.

One of the most interesting things about this project was how bold and modern it looked despite almost everything being in various shades and levels of white. The oak itself is already light and is customized in order to look more “milky”; the tendency would be to expect such a bleached palette to make the millwork seem washed out or bland. But this is the complete opposite - the use

of varying tones of white and the commitment to such a bright colour scheme actually puts a lot more emphasis on the cabinetry and, if nothing else, allows us to show off the quality and depth of the materials and lacquer products we use. This is a job that complements rather than contrasts, but that in no way detracts from its wow-factor.

This project proves that working with limited space, or a limited design scheme, doesn’t have to limit opportunites to make a statement.

It also doesn’t limit your storage space, functionality, or quality of workmanship.

Operating within the parameters of a certain space or a certain array of colours allows us to stretch our creative muscles and make good use of the constantly evolving slate of innovative and high-quality products we work with.

INSET FINGER PULLS Edge pulls and tab pulls have been a fixture (hah) in the kitchens we’ve done for a long time. But something that’s growing in popularity, especially throughout the projects of the last year, is inset finger pulls. Who knew that the best hardware option could possibly be no hardware at all?

Finger pulls allow the slab front cabinetry to continue uninterrupted across the scope of the doors and drawer fronts; it maintains that clean, modern look. that applied hardware can often interrupt. This also allows emphasis to be placed on the cut and design of the oak and the bookmatched vertical grain.

There are a few different options for inset finger pulls - one involves machining the finger cavity right out of the door (also known as “moulded” finger pulls), while another involves the use of a J-groove handle that attaches to the door or drawer.

These methods work vertically or horizontally, though it can be difficult for larger fingers depending on the depth of the groove and the grippability of the shape. Always remember to place function over aesthetic and make sure that these unique channels will work for all types of hands.

Beauty Bamboo

Bamboo is not a material we work with often, but no

one can deny its unique grain pattern and the warmth of its tone. Both the perimeter and the island of this kitchen utilize the full potential and modern look of horizontal grain bamboo through slab doors and drawer fronts (there is a shaker style kitchen coming up, I promise). A unique look, an effecient layout, and lots of storage space and innovations - it’s all here in this kitchen. So let’s take a look!

This kitchen includes an L-shaped run of cabinetry (lowers and uppers), a large island with ample seating room around one end, and a TV wall with a lift that raises the TV up behind the open shelving when not in use.

Starting with the perimeter, this kitchen has several space-saving and efficient features, including: a full-height metal pantry pullout unit; a full-height storage cabinet next to the fridge for brooms and the vacuum hose; banks of drawers in various depths for different sized objects (pots and pans, spices, containers, etc); and a grommet at the back of the countetop for power cords from the coffee maker and stand mixer.

The larger appliances include a 48” wide fridge/freezer combo with drawers underneath, a built-in Ventahood fan unit with a custom shroud to match the cabinetry, and two undermount sinks - one on the end of the

44

island, the other located handily next to the dishwasher.

Each side of the island serves a different function. The “working side” includes a garbage/recycling pullout, a microwave drawer, and the aforementioned sink; the far end and other side have room for bar seating with a handy footrail running the length of that open area (see page 46), as well as more storage drawers. The TV area is located directly across the room from the seating side of the island and is comprised of further storage drawers and cabinets, as well as open shelving and the TV lift.

In terms of other finishes throughout the kitchen, the aim was to complement the bamboo without losing emphasis on its unique properties. The stainless steel base kicks and appliances further ground this kitchen in its modern aesthetic despite the exotic nature of the wood, while classic white stone countertops tie the look together and provide brightness without detracting from the bamboo’s effectiveness. The island countertop acts as an accent piece and is full of an assortment of marbled colours that both tie into and contrast nicely with the bamboo.

Strategic lighting and the presence of large windows highlight the smallest details in both the wood and stone. The resulting impression is both natural and contemporary. The caramelized bamboo is definitely the star of the show, but that is not all this fullystocked kitchen has to offer (continued on page 49).

The seating area provides ample leg room and a great place to socialize while the rest of the island can still be dedicated to working space. A heated mat under the countertop keeps things cozy.

Hood fans are an integral component

of any range or cooktop, but they can also be used to make a design statement or tie in with the rest of the cabinetry.

The micro-hood in this kitchen serves the dual purpose of a microwave and an exhaust hood. Depending on the placement of your cooking areas there are quite a few options for hood fans that range in terms of concealment.

Hood vents are great for open areas, such as above island cooktops and in areas with no uppers; conversely, micro hoods and concealed units work well when the aim is to integrate the hood within the surrounding cabinetry.

Your specific kitchen design is another consideration to be made when selecting a hood fan unit. Industriallike vents and stainless steel fans are better for modern kitchen styles, while traditional and contemporary kitchens benefit from custom hood shrouds and other concealed or low-profile options.

This project blessed us with an opportunity to work on a smaller seconday (but no less impressive) suite kitchen.

The suite kitchen uses the same mixture of horizontal bamboo and stainless appliances and is fully stocked with all the appliances and storage options needed for day-to-day use. There’s even an island with bar seating and several banks of drawers, providing the perfect work and social space. The sink, dishwasher, fridge, and microhood and range cover all the bases when it comes to food prep and storage, and the metal lazy susan in the corner unit provides a more updated and functional alternative to the traditional plastic lazy susans.

Other rooms that utilize bamboo throughout the house are the living room (pictured below), and the powder room (page 50). The rest of the rooms - the ensuite bathroom, guest bathroom, and laundry room - are done in a slab profile with a custom lacquer finish to match Benjamin Moore’s “Classic Grey”. No matter what the room is used for, the level of quality craftsmanship and attention to detail never wavers. It’s always satisfying

when we are able to realize a client’s vision throughout their entire home, and we relish the challenge that comes from making sure everything is up to par no matter where it is located (or who is going to see it).

As demonstrated by this project and the previous three, the most prominent trend of this year’s projects involved three things: 1) slab doors and drawer fronts with low-profile handles and projections; 2) lighter wood in simple finishes that enhance the desirable aspects that naturally occur in the material chosen; and 3) an emphasis on grain to highlight the breadth of the doors and drawer fronts and provide a canvas for grain patterns and tones. While a slab profile is typically associated with more modern materials such as Super Matte or higloss acrylic (and we have definitely done our fair share of projects using those materials), the emphasis this year was placed on the marriage of wood with warmth and depth and a simple profile that serves to show it off.

KEEP LIGHTING IN MIND By no means are we electricians, but even cabinet makers and designers know that lighting can make or break a room. While there are definitely practical considerations that factor into the placement and type of lighting used, there’s also design and aesthetic to think of. How does the lighting affect the tones and shades in the millwork? Does it highlight or overwhelm the countertops and fixtures? Does it emphasize or wash out the finishes on the cabinetry? Here’s an illuminating run-down of the different types of lights we use and their particular strengths: •

•

50

Pendant lighting - Pendant lights are typically found above the kitchen island and are very often meant to be incorporated into its overall design. The style of the kitchen will determine the style of the pendant light, and much like other design options you can choose pendants that will fade into the rest of the kitchen or ones that stand out as their own accent feature.

The addition of custom bulkheads and ceiling panels to house the pendants are just another way to bring attention to your lighting choices and incorporate them into your overall design .

Backlighting - As demonstrated by this powder room (pictured to the right), backlighting can add a whole new depth and feel to backsplash, cabinetry, or mirrors.

Backlighting can add emphasis to a frame or shape, or provide a softer lighting alternative in a room where you definitely want flattering light (like, say, a powder room). You can use backlighting to soften a room, to highlight an accent piece, or as an accent piece itself.

•

Recessed lighting - Recessed lighting, or “puck lighting”, is exactly what it sounds like - puck-shaped circular lights that are inserted into a ceiling or shelf. Puck lights are great for open shelving and undermount lighting used to illuminate the content of those shelves. They are the most common lighting source to be spotted in a kitchen and have a much lower profile than their contemporaries. The placement of puck lights can dictate which sections of cabinetry are most illuminated, either for practical or aesthetic purposes or both.

•

Strip lighting - Another lighting source that sounds exactly like it is, lighting strips are used to illuminate long lengths of cabinetry. They can be used in the cabinetry kick as a way to illuminate the floor (especially handy for late night kitchen or bathroom visits) or even as a way to illuminate the furthest depths of your drawers or cabinet boxes. This is especially effective when combined with automatic lighting, which will turn the lights on as soon as the door or drawer front is opened.

•

Wall mount - Most prevelant in bathrooms, hallways, and stairways, wall mount lighting and sconces are another way to add a bit of customized flair to your space.

Whether they’re made from the same wood that lines your staircase or meant as a complement to your fixtures, wall mount lights serve the dual purpose of illuminating the room and providing you with another outlet (ha) for your creativity!

NDLES

In the coming year we are going to see an increase in popularity for long, sleek pulls with clean lines, as well as integrated or concealed pulls that allow your cabinetry to reap the attention instead.

While hardware is still an integral part of the cabinet design - as well as a great way to express yourself - the trend is moving towards more subdued and less prominent pulls and knobs.

Tradition

Let’s shake things up a bit and introduce a more

traditional kitchen. “English Tradition” is comprised of a classic combination of white lacquer cabinetry, a natural-finish island, and a 2 1/4” shaker door profile.

There are still modern elements present - the builtin microwave and fold-away pot filler, for example - but the overall scheme is more traditional than any project we’ve highlighted so far; here’s a look at how we produced a kitchen that is both steeped in tradition and timeless.

Several elements combine to give this kitchen its English farmhouse feel. The perimeter cabinetry is done in custom lacquer to match Benjamin Moore’s “Cloud White.”

The prominently scooped crown and custom hood unit that segues neatly into the projected elements of the ceiling is not ony visually striking but also guarantees no dust on the cabinet tops! The lighted glass front uppers single out the client’s chosen items with soft lighting and serve as an effective break in the otherwise uninterrupted line of cabinetry from backsplash to ceiling. The backsplash itself is grouted to give the “brick lay” pattern maximum exposure; the splash runs all the way up to the ceiling on both walls.

The island is done in stained English oak and uses moulding strips, custom posts, and a prominent door and panel profle to further add character to the kitchen

58

as a whole. There’s a seating area conveniently located within the realm of the dining area, a sink and plenty of counter space for prep and serving, and subtlypatterned stone countertops that complement the tile backsplash without drawing focus or tipping the kitchen out of its traditional aesthetic.

In terms of appliances and storage solutions all are concealed by custom millwork panels.

Most of the operational aspects of the kitchen, aside from the farmhouse sink and the range, are concealed under millwork that is comparatively more in keeping with the traditional design. The fridge wall (not pictured) is fully panelled as well, creating an unbroken line of cabinetry that reaches full-height to the ceiling.

The recessed furniture kick adds another classic element and ensures that the design scheme is consistent right from floor to ceiling.

Keeping in line with the kitchen the rest of the house sticks to the white lacquer, shaker style cabinetry, furniture kicks, ornate crown, and hints of stained oak througout.

The media area kicks things up a notch and introduces bead-board backing to the open section around the TV (continued on page 62).

BACKSPLASH TILE There’s no limit to the creativity you can

display on your kitchen walls, from wall-sized photos to fish tanks. That being said, not every backsplash pattern or material will work with your kitchen. You have to consider the three Cs: colour, countertops, and cabinetry. You want a backsplash that will complement all three.

The two most difficult things to decide on when it comes to backsplash are A) the material and B) the pattern. “English Tradition” uses off-white 3” x 6” porcelain tile to complement both the perimeter cabinetry and the farmhouse aesthetic of the kitchen. More modern kitchens utilize bolder patterns and materials, which often includes stainless steel.

Backsplash can encompass the whole wall or just small, designated areas, based on the needs and/or wants of each client.

Design aside, it’s important to remember that backsplash serves a purpose - to protect your walls from water, oil, or anything else that might get flung around in the cooking process. As long as it both protects and looks good, the sky (or crown, rather) is the limit for backsplash options.

Right: An entertaining entertainment center, complete with under-shelf lighting, open display shelving, and cabinetry that frames the TV.

The recessed puck lights, open shelving, and shaker cabinetry combine the best and most unique features of this house as a whole - a level of customization that allows for traditional-looking cabinetry to be utilized in various ways, whether for displaying comparatively modern belongings or highlighting the TV (which doubles as a suitably pastoral piece of artwork). The ensuite also combines a traditional aesthetic with more modern details, including taps, sconces, and pendant lighting. Despite modern touches, the cabinetry retains that traditional feel that is best exemplified by the kitchen, but is still present throughout the house.

This project is definitely in the same vein as the other projects highlighted here - white lacquer, stone countertops, and naturally finished wood - but it differs from the others in a few key places: 1) the shaker style doors and drawer fronts; 2) the ornate embellishments such as the crown and furniture kicks; 3) the traditional slant to the profiles, materials, and design choices, and 4) the emphasis being placed away from the look of the materials and instead being placed on the way the material is utilized or adorned.

KEEP LAUNDRY IN MIND Laundry is one of those inevitable facts of life,

•

Pull-out hampers - One of our previous jobs mentioned in the magazine not only had a pullout hamper, but one that tilted directly into the adjoining closet for on-the-spot laundry collection. While that’s not always feasible, you can always use one of your lowers as a lined receptacle for clothes to keep them out of sight (but hopefully not out of mind; dirty clothes should not be contained in one spot for too long).

•

Storage areas - Drawers, tall cabinets, and open shelving can be used to store not only laundry room essentials, but also cleaning products and tools for the entire house. Use a full-height closet unit for hanging brooms and dusters, a designated drawer for clothes pins or dryer sheets, and store your laundry detergents and treatments high in the uppers and away from little fingers.

•

Pull-out ironing board - Often one of the most cumbersome tools in the household, the ironing board is something that can definitely be improved upon when it comes to access and usability. Try a fold out ironing board that’s situated and contained in an upper cabinet, or a pull-out ironing board that extends out from (and collapses back into) a top drawer.

but it doesn’t have to be a struggle! What you need is a laundry room that can carry your load (ha). Here are a few tips and tricks for the best laundry room you can have (including some tips lifted directly from the room pictured to the left): •

•

Sink - Some stubborn stains need a little pre-wash treatment, so what better way to prep them for washing than with a small sink or wash area. This is especially handy if your laundry room doubles as a mudroom; you could even add a specific type of sink or basin, such as a boot wash area or a dog wash (make sure you have backsplash for the splatter that would surely be generated by that).

Hanging rod - Hang your clothes out to dry year-round through the use of a hanging rod in the laundry room. This can be located under the uppers, between them, or even slide out of the wall like a valet hook, but make that you have enough space between the rod and the countertop for your longest shirts to hang.

•

Backsplash - As mentioned before, laundry rooms or mudrooms can be privy to a lot of splatter. Reduce the effect on your poor walls through the use of backsplash.

•

Undercounter appliances - Putting your washer and dryer under the counter serves the dual purpose of keeping them contained in one spot and keeping them level for easier access and use.

You must obviously make sure that your appliances are front-load and that there is ample space for outlets, drainage, and venting. The bonus is that you will end up with a constantly heated countertop that is sure to help wet clothes dry!

64

Whatever you need for your laundry life to be less fraught, there’s a solution for that. (And if you have Smart washers and dryers, there’s even an app for that! )

Luxury Outdoor

While the West Coast weather is known for being

temperate year-round, steps still needed to be taken to make this outdoor kitchen stand up to the elements.

Marine-grade NAUF plywood and stainless steel combine nicely in terms of weatherproofing and easier maintenancem while the laminate is laid up with bonding agents that are waterproof and do not use urea-formaldehyde. These elements combine to create a kitchen that is both a resiliant and “greener” product.

The design utilizes locally-sourced stone, chislededge stone countertops, and cedar beams to create a rustic yet sophisticated look. The finishes were chosen to complement the surrounding landscape, and also included the Formica “Charred Formwood” that encases the slab-front lowers. The design scheme was chosen with the Cowichan Valley in mind and its mixture of natural, enduring elements serves as a fitting tribute to the lake it overlooks.

The footprint was also an important consideration in the design and construction of this kitchen. It is located on the bottom tier of a multi-level backyard that slopes gently down towards the lake front. The bottom tier houses the kitchen, firepit, and various social and dining areas. The stone facade is built into the slope, allowing the work area itself to remain level while the serving areas contour nicely in conjunction with the

70

wall. The roof allows for use in any weather, covering the three main areas - prep, eating, and serving.

The kitchen is wired for appliances and lighting and plumbed for a wet bar area. Everything you need for an outdoor experience is readily available without sacrificing landscaping or functionality of the yard.

It sits helpfully-adjacent to the fenced-in dining area/garden and allows easy travel between the two areas without losing its own individual footprint.

The appliances include the ever-present BBQ and a beverage fridge, for the days when the cooler won’t cut it or you need to keep different sides and courses on hand. Not only are these appliances rated for outdoor use, they have also been installed with consideration towards operational safety and longevity.

“We wanted a kitchen that would stand up to the Cowichan winters,” said owner Roy Sandsmark.

Together with South Shore Cabinetry they designed an outdoor space that thrives in the summer and survives in the winters.

This outdoor kitchen is a gathering place for all seasons and provides a beautiful, well-constructed haven of lakeside living.

WEATHER PROOFING Obviously there are considerations that need to be

made with outdoor kitchens that don’t apply to indoor kitchens - namely, weather proofing. Here’s a checklist for keeping your outdoor kitchen in prime shape for years to come: • waterproof panel products, including laminates that are laid up with waterproof glues • environmentally friendly building materials and adhesive products • some form of shelter or covering • stainless steel appliances, prep surfaces, and hardware • durable countertops and stone facades that are rated for heavy use • natural and environmentally friendly cleaning and maintenance

OUTDOOR LIVING Outdoor design doesn’t start and end with the kitchen;

•

The right appliances - Make sure you’re using appliances that are rated for the outdoors and will stand up to the amount of use you plan to put them through.

If you’re someone who entertains a lot consider using two fridges - one for beverages (pictured lower left) and one for food (perfect for storing burger patties, condiments, and side dishes). A sink is another musthave, and of course no outdoor kitchen could be complete without a BBQ at the very least (we’ve also worked on outdoor spaces that incorporate pizza ovens).

•

Lighting - Nobody wants to spend a beautiful night under the stars, huddled around the fire, and then walk into something hard on the way back to the house. Make sure you have enough illumination for safely using the kitchen and serving/accomodating your guests.

here are some handy tips for making the most out of your outdoor space: •

•

Use the right materials - As previously stated, it’s important to use materials that are both durable and environmentally friendly. That includes any appliances, cleaning products, or building components you use in the construction of your space. This is especially important if your space is in proximity to the lake shore or the garden. Practical reasons aside, you also want to choose complementory materials that make your space stand out but also reflect the surrounding beauty that you’ll be enjoying.

Safety matters - Always follow codes and regulations for outdoor kitchens and spaces. Make sure the plumbing, electricity, and appliances are up to code.

This is especially important with propane BBQs .
