Boston Project, Boston
Grand, best kitchen, multifamilyBy Nigel F. Maynard
When developers decided to convert this former police station into luxury condominiums, they wanted open-plan kitchens incorporating sleek, cutting-edge materials. The designers responded with a simple configuration that places the kitchen’s major functions in ergonomic positions along a primary support wall. A 6-foot island, with sink and commercial-style faucet, anchors the space. Constructed of horizontal-grain teak veneer, the cabinets feature integrated drawer pulls and provide ample storage in the island and wall units.
The teak’s warm finish acts as a foil to the white paint, gleaming stainless steel appliances, and Cervaiole marble countertops (for continuity, the marble is also used for backsplash behind the cooktop). Natural light floods in through adjacent glass openings, while overhead pendant fixtures and ceiling apertures add supplemental illumination when needed.
