Cucina Moderna
CCI Renovations/North Vancouver/Photos - Derek Lepper.
The kitchen was broken up into distinct work stations - the clean up area with two dishwashers, a prep area that includes two fridges, two crisper drawers and prep sink, two cooking areas - one for the cook top and one for the double ovens (one with a warming drawer), a beverage centre that includes a cappuccino machine and double beverage fridges and, finally a separate pantry. Cabinets and appliances are equipped with book matched cherry fronts. All utility drawers and fridge/freezer units on the oven wall are equipped with handles acquired from the oven manufacturer. A automatic motorized drop down TV is located behind the cabinets to the left of the cook top while another motorized drop down shelf to the right provides a place to hide medicines. The large overstated raised section of the island along with the "Bocci" style lighting above deliver extra seating as well as a well lit buffet area during large, usually catered events while also providing a focal point for the room.
