![New York Bosch Kitchen: Empty Nesters embrace urban living in a compact galley kitchen.
Client Profile
Bill and Maggie Brown raised their family in a large suburban home but always wanted to return to the Urban lifestyle they enjoyed during their college years in New York. They love the cultural activities and the ability to walk to nearby conveniences, leaving their car garaged for weeks. While being avid foodies who love the restaurant scene, they also like to cook together, shop for fresh ingredients and enjoy having a casual meal at home with close friends.
Challenge
The Brown’s fell in love with the heritage of a Manhattan loft and the neighborhood culture but wanted to delineate the kitchen as its own space without cutting it off from the rest of the communal area. The space in their loft is small but they plan to stay in this home for many years.
Solution
For the Brown’s kitchen, we made a long wall a freestanding “screen”, dividing the space but not walling off the kitchen entirely. The symmetry of the pantry mimicking the refrigerator was appealing to Bill and Maggie, who liked the idea of boxing the large block wall and cube island with rich wood to complement the soft gray stone and the original restored brick walls. Bosch appliances were recommended for their advanced technology and seamless integration. The Browns were amazed at how beautifully their dream of contemporizing the old loft space came to life.
