The armoirelike
pantry,

blends
function and style. “It
carries a visual line
from under the
clerestory windows
to this wall, keeping
the scale down,” says
Carl. Top doors slide
into the cabinets to
reveal the microwave
and TV. The center
double doors hide
pullout shelves, and
single cabinets store
wine and staples.
EASY ACCESS
Flip-up cabinet doors,
top,
are built up
4 inches from the
countertops for

granite backsplash,
outfitted with an
electrical outlet, adds

PLAN POINTS
The kitchen moved
to the back of the
house, switching
locations with the
original piano room
and powder room,
below .
The range wall
of the new kitchen
was squared off with
the side of the house.
The back wall was
pushed out 5 feet and
incorporates access
to the backyard. Now

than the old space,
the new kitchen also
includes an L-shape
banquette, ini)
