Project 8441 – Burr Ridge, IL
Featured in Kitchen and Bath Business Magazine
Originally a U-shaped kitchen, the peninsula was replaced with an island in the center of the room. The reconfiguring of the space enlarged the room greatly. Upper cabinets with textured glass doors adds a subtle linear break between the white cabinets and the white ceiling. Separated appliances allow for a cook and an assistant in the kitchen without intermingling work triangles. Stacked glass tile on the backsplash adds a vertical effect to a very horizontal room. The butler’s pantry between the dining area and the kitchen can be staged as a buffet and encourages guests to transition out of the kitchen when entertaining.
