Casual Contemporary Kitchen by Allison McCowan

2011 NKBA Design Competition - Budget-Friendly Kitchen

The challenge faced by the designer was the budget of young first-time home buyers. The base cabinetry was pulled forward on the main run of cabinetry to gain an elevated extra second level of counter space at the backsplash surfaces and still allow the chef to have an area for accessible items. An organizational tower provides additional storage solutions with pull out drawers. A Viking range that was slightly damaged offered an affordable option for an aspiring chef. The remaining appliances are LG - offering the function, style and price tag that was required. Exposed stainless appliances, Corian countertops, a glass tiled backsplash, slate floors, and sleek lines in the cabinetry - all contributed to the contemporary transitional appearance of this little giant.
