Project Description
FORWARD was asked to design a contemporary kitchen to be inserted into an existing 1930’s Brookside, Kansas City bungalow. The design opened up a kitchen and small butler's pantry into one space. We then restored the original finish and detail of the new single room. The kitchen itself is intended as modern furniture placed within this historical envelope. There are two cabinets: one full-height oak cooking storage cabinet that houses the oven, range, refrigerator, and pantry. The other piece is conceived as a work bench. White, low, and horizontal, it contains the sink, prep space and a breakfast nook/home office. A small bookshelf and wall of shallow cabinets and drawers are inserted into the thickness of the wall to capture as much storage as possible.
