Rockville Residential Kitchen
This custom kitchen project
was a collaborative effort with a familiar kitchen
designer. The homeowners wanted a contemporary kitchen
with clean lines, excellent appliances, improved storage,
a desk, a pantry area and a new breakfast bar area.
The goal was to integrate a variety finishes including
stone, wood, glass, tile and stainless steel. However,
the layout was excellent and we only added a breakfast
bar to the island feature. The existing kitchen was
predominantly white which reminded the homeowner, an
orthodontist, too much of her workplace environment
when in her kitchen.
Unusual Challenges and Creative Solutions
This
was our first project in over 15 years of business
where the homeowner
wanted to integrate glass into
areas of their kitchen other than door fronts. Collaborating
with the designer and our glass specialist, we created
a curved ¾” glass flyover breakfast bar
mounted to a stone island top. This required special
chrome hardware and carefully frosting the bottom of
the glass to accent the natural lead green color. We
also worked with our glass specialist to craft frosted ¼ inch
glass back splashes. Notice the stainless steel grommets;
cover plates and special order “sea foam green” electrical
devices.
The customer selecting specific
slabs of stone months before they were needed created
another challenge.
Understanding exactly how the stone counter business
works and having an excellent stone fabricator enabled
us to make sure the customer was completely satisfied
with their kitchen countertops.
