City Apartment
Kitchen Design : Episode KDE-1208 -- More Projects »
Mitchell Robbins fell in love with the view from his urban high-rise apartment and wanted to take advantage of those views in his living spaces. The result, achieved with the help of architect Peter Sollogub, is an elegant, open plan with the kitchen at the center.
- The galley style kitchen is sleek and efficient, using contrasting woods (for warmth) and cool stainless steel (for sparkle).
- The rectangular island makes a handsome design statement, with a six-burner electric stove, raised counter on the outside, and at one end, an L-section that accommodates two barstools.
- The granite countertop is connected to the wood veneer cabinetry with a band of stainless steel that is repeated in the appliances, the backsplash, shelving, sink and decorative band around the refrigerator.
- The gleam of frosted glass panels used for the upper cabinet blends well with the wall of stainless steel above the sink.
- The flooring is red birch.
- The neutral color palette of creams, wood tones and black create a soothing Zen-like feeling in the open living spaces.
