The kitchen was originally an awkward alcove facing the main living area. The architects expanded the room and installed a classic modernist ‘service core’ at the kitchen’s center; it features large appliances such as a Sub-Zero fridge and an Asko washer/dryer. This allows easy movement through the kitchen to the adjacent dining room and main hallways. Photo 1 of 5 in FRIDGE by Yukino Yamada from House of the Week: Midcentury Modern Reboot in Washington
