The Gathering Kitchen - re-placing eating at the center of the home. We’ve all had the common experience of guests gathering in the kitchen. It seems the kitchen has replaced the hearth as the center of the modern home. Often in this shift is the loss of gathering around the table.
This client has a passion for cooking and has lived for 20 years with a kitchen that’s fallen short of her needs, and a dining room that is never used. She also has a passion for hosting her family & friends – large groups, lively and animated!
We combined the space of both rooms to make one large gathering kitchen. The centerpiece is the island which was split open and pulled apart to make place again for gathering around the meal. The island provides functioning countertops and ample storage, as well as enclosure for the full dining table. An adjustable 6-legged table base, as well as unique Marinace granite, cherry red cabinets, and Manganese Ironspot brick highlight the material palate.
