Tight Space Condo Kitchen
In this condo kitchen, I tried to see to what excellent design could do to elevate the lowest cost materials to create a functional kitchen in a very limited space. A dry-wall closet was demolished to make room for built-in refrigeration with a 12" deep pantry on the left and base corner cabinet on the right. Standard door panels cover the front panel of the bottom-mount refrigerator. Over the range microwave is installed backvented to a duct in the wall cavity and up through the ceiling. The cabinet above the microwave is made special depth (but could have been pulled). The backsplash is mirrored, with the mirror set into a metal channel sitting on the laminate countertop. Ceiling track lighting in a rectangle encircles a narrow fluorescent fixture and can be dimmed for entertaining.
