From Cut-off Condo Kitchen to Culinary Hub
If a kitchen is the heart of a home, then the condo featured in this design story was cut off from its heart. If a kitchen is the heart of a home, then the condo featured in this design story was cut off from its heart. The condo’s owner was looking forward to spending his well-earned leisure time entertaining, but his disconnected and cramped kitchen didn’t lend itself to the social gatherings he envisioned. He asked TQ Construction to create a living space that connected the living area, dining area—and most importantly for this foodie homeowner—the kitchen. While creating a new social hub for their client, the design team found that the space presented some challenges. Because there were some structural aspects of the condo that couldn’t be modified, they had the task of working with tight spaces and making them feel open. The design, overall, is simultaneously cohesive and dynamic, and the space is remarkably functional and efficient, as a recent dinner for ten at the condo, which went off without a hitch, confirms.
