This kitchen renovation was broken up into distinct work stations: a cleanup area, a prep area, two cooking areas, a beverage centre and a separate pantry. The cleanup area has two dishwashers to make cleanup a breeze. The prep area features two fridges, two crisper drawers and a prep sink. The two cooking areas include a cooktop and double ovens (one with a warming drawer). The beverage centre has a cappuccino machine and double beverage fridges. And finally, the separate pantry provides extra room for storage.
The cabinets and appliances for this modern kitchen renovation are equipped with book-matched cherry fronts. All utility drawers and fridge/freezer units on the oven wall are equipped with handles acquired from the oven manufacturer. A automatic motorized drop down TV is located behind the cabinets to the left of the cook top for viewing cooking how-tos. To the right of this, another motorized drop down shelf provides a place to hide medicines. The large overstated raised section of the island along with the “Bocci” style lighting above delivers extra seating as well as a bright buffet area during large, usually catered events. This island section also provides a bold focal point for this modern kitchen renovation.
