Glass mosaic tiled walls punctuate the cooking space, which features streamlined cabinetry and sleek stainless-steel hardware and fixtures. Recycled quartz countertops add a hint of sparkle and are naturally antimicrobial as well as mold- and heat-resistant. Water and energy saving were top of mind when selecting appliances for the space such as the “smart dishwasher”, which determines the amount of time, water and energy need to complete each load. Other green features of the kitchen include tubular skylights, which channel daylight into the kitchen during work hours and illuminate the space at night via compact fluorescent lights.
