Empty nesters in New York make a city loft their own.

Client Profile:

Bill and Maggie Brown raised their family in a large suburban home, but always wanted to return to the urban lifestyle they enjoyed during their college years in New York. They love the cultural activities and the ability to walk to nearby conveniences. While being avid foodies who love the restaurant scene, they also like to cook together, shop for fresh ingredients and enjoy hosting a casual meal at home with close friends.

The Challenge:

The Browns fell in love with the heritage of their Manhattan loft and the neighborhood culture, but wanted to delineate the kitchen as its own space without cutting it off from the rest of the communal area. The space in their loft is small, nevertheless, they plan on calling it home for many years to come.

The Solution:

The solution was to make a long wall in their kitchen a freestanding “screen”, dividing the space but not walling off the room entirely. The symmetry of the pantry mimicking the refrigerator was appealing to Bill and Maggie. Bosch appliances were recommended for their advanced technology and seamless integration, and the Browns were amazed at how beautifully their dream of contemporizing the old loft space came to life.

Cooktop Over Oven:

In order to provide a continuous counter line, stack a 30" gas cooktop over a wall convection oven and install it flush. This is a great solution to pack the most utility into a small space.

Dishwasher Styling

Dishwasher Styling:

When your design calls for an unbroken cabinet line, the Bosch dishwasher is a great choice. The considered engineering matches great cleaning technology with a sleek custom panel, to allow for the dishwasher to be seamlessly built-in.

Refregeration

Refrigeration:

The 30" built-in refrigerator is ideal for urban clients. It gives them more than enough space for their produce, fits the limited space in most lofts and it allows for more storage and/or counter space in the kitchen design.

Vent Hood Choice:

Using a hood 6" wider than the cooking surface not only increases efficiency, it also gives a more balanced visual sense. This glass canopy chimney hood provides cover without weighing heavily on the overall design.

Healthy Oven:

Healthy Oven:

Including the steam oven in any appliance package adds a healthy, flavorful option for cooking all types of dishes from meat to veggies to last night’s leftovers. Raising the oven to an ergonomically comfortable height in a tall or mid-high cabinet increases usability.
