Kosher Kitchen Serves Timeless Ambience

The homeowners envisioned a space where tradition meets modern minimalism, while accommodating the needs of their family’s kosher lifestyle. This design superbly incorporates the nuances of their daily life and culinary rituals—like dual appliances with helpful features and elegant storage solutions—resulting in a sophisticated and efficient kitchen.


KOSHER COMPLIANCE

Designing a kosher kitchen meant incorporating two sinks, two ovens, and two refrigerators, along with ample storage for two sets of dishware. This setup ensures adherence to dietary rules while providing an efficient and enjoyable cooking experience for the family.

SYMMETRICAL DESIGN

Every element, from the cabinetry to the appliances, is symmetrical, creating a harmonious and visually appealing space that supports family gatherings and meal preparation.

INNOVATIVE STORAGE DESIGN

The homeowners desired drawers of matching height to achieve a consistent look. Balancing the desired form with the required function, the drawers feature a variety of tray dividers, waste receptacles, and spice storage behind consistent drawer fronts.

SLEEK AESTHETIC

Paneled Sub-Zero Refrigerators and Cove Dishwashers integrate seamlessly with the cabinetry, maintaining the minimal appearance desired by the homeowners. The Wolf Microwave Drawer—integrated into the island—offers a sleek element to the overall design.

SABBATH MODE

Sub-Zero’s Sabbath Mode feature—essential for keeping the family’s kosher practices—was a requirement when the homeowners made their appliance selections.
