HIDDEN DOOR IN SLAT WALL

In response to the changes brought on by the pandemic, this kitchen was designed to be a versatile, multi-functional space for a busy family. With remote work and virtual learning becoming the new norm, it was crucial to create a space where the family could simultaneously cook, work, and attend virtual meetings.

We designed a hidden walk-in pantry/spice kitchen, which provided a discreet area for meal prep and storage. This clever addition allowed us to create a cozy dining nook, complete with a built-in bench, bookshelf for extra storage, and a TV screen for video calls. The layout also cleverly closed off the “messy” areas of the kitchen, ensuring the space remained neat and organized even while the kids were using the island for virtual school.
