From cold kitchen to warm study

This second floor area was originally the kitchen of a duplex. Our challenge was to convert it into a space that would work in its new single family dwelling application. 

We employed a continuous solid wood countertop all the way around, which affords tremendous layout capacity. We used spalted maple, which, in addition to its strength, provides a spectacular colour pattern.

The shelving systems align with the top lines of the windows, which were relocated and enlarged to brighten the space. Puck lights provide task lighting, and low-voltage pot lights double for ambient and task. Both are dimmable.
