Sustainable KitchensBright and lively, this bespoke plywood kitchen oozes joy. Our clients came to us looking for a retro-inspired kitchen with plenty of colour. The island features a slatted back panel to match the open wall cabinet adding a playful modern detail to the design. Sitting on a cork floor, the central island joins the 3 runs of cabinets together to ground the space.
MDB Design GroupThis beautiful Tudor house built in 1923 made a classic statement on a street in Glendale, California. The living room and dining room were just what you would expect with oak floors, crown molding and leaded glass windows. Then you walk through the door from the dining room into the kitchen and a time warp took you to a 1950’s kitchen with metal cabinets and a triangular cooktop peninsula.
How do I change the kitchen to make it part of the house and add functions that every cook wants? The homeowners agreed that we needed to remove everything down to the studs and start fresh. We removed all the cabinets, soffit, ceiling and floor. Due to termite damage, the 2 windows and all the framing on the east wall was replaced.
I presented two plans to the homeowners and we finalized one. We moved the sink from the diagonal corner and centered it under the smaller window.

MDB Design GroupThe west wall completes the functional needs with a built-in refrigerator and microwave oven combination. A full height pantry with roll-out shelves is around the corner from the refrigerator. To the left of the ovens, is a wall and base cabinet and countertop. A charging stationed was planned for this counter area.
Flooring choices are many. The original kitchen had linoleum and therefore only about 1/8” was available for the new material to sit on top of the sub-floor and still have a level transition to the adjacent dining room and powder room. We removed the original sub-floor and gained ¾”. But a tile floor was not an option because we did not have enough thickness for a concrete bed and the tile. Cork was selected in a light gray and white pattern which compliments the overall white kitchen that the homeowners wanted. The flooring installer prepared for the ½” thick cork by recessing the new ¾” plywood subfloor between the joists at the mathematically correct height. This accomplished having the kitchen, dining room and powder room floors all at the same level without a transition strip, and also provided a very level floor.

elizabeth c. masters architects, ltd.The marble tile backsplash unites the kitchen and pantry visually with a subtle but lively pattern. The colors in the backsplash tie all of the different elements of the kitchen together. The tile pattern is both traditional and "edgy." It is a 2 x 2 pattern, but each square is cut either in matchstick thin slivers or on a single diagonal thereby giving the vertical surface a lively look in a traditional design. One focus of the new kitchen is the IKEA farm sink that works almost like a command post with its two large bowls and pull-out faucet. Glass cabinets surrounding the window and in the pantry add a bit of sparkle with the reflective surface of the glass and allow special objects to be displayed. From a working perspective, the owner says the one of the best features of the kitchen design is the new lighting. Recessed LED downlights and LED undercabinet lights give illumination for all tasks. The undercabinet LED lighting does not get hot and it uses very little energy. They are mounted towards the front of the cabinet while a continuous strip of plug mold runs along the back part of the upper cabinets providing many outlets throughout the working areas of the kitchen without being visible.

henhouseThis kitchen was really fun to create. The house is an old charmer in the heart of the city and ripe for updates and renovation. These clients started with the kitchen and will work out from there. We kept the old pantry space but added in a stained glass window that had been taken out of their home a previous year. The small touch of red, which is one of may favourite colours, provides a nice contrast with the two toned blue cabinetry. We ripped out much of the drywall to properly insulate and move old plumbing pipes into the wall that were previously outside of walls in older homes. This provided more clean useable space in the pantry. We kept the layout similar to what they had but streamlined it a bit with instead of the odd angles they had before which made cabinet space awkward to get to or use. We talked about colour and we both felt a bold indigo blue in the pantry would feel like a jewel of a space warmed up with wood counters and a softer pale blue/grey in the main kitchen area would feel clean and serene.
K-Co Construction, Inc.It's hard to believe this was once a small, drab, 50's-era tract home. Our client, an artist, loved the location but wanted a modern, unique look with more space for her to work. We added over 2,000 square feet of living space including a studio with its own bathroom and a laundry/potting room. The cramped old-fashioned kitchen was opened up to the living area to create a high-ceiling great room. Outside, a new driveway, patio and walkway incorporate brightly colored surfaces as a contrast to the abundant greenery of the garden.
