Steal This Look: The Ultimate Chef's Kitchen in Brooklyn - Remodelista
Kitchen photography by Dustin Aksland.
Yesterday, we toured the Brooklyn townhouse that architect Elizabeth Roberts of Elizabeth Roberts Design/Ensemble Architecture reinvented as a Greenhouse for Living.
Owners Allison Freedman Weisberg and Peter Barker-Huelster requested a cozy yet spacious kitchen: “They showed us pictures of rooms with wooden beams...
...fireplaces, and mixed vintage cabinets,” says Roberts, who responded by exposing the room’s rafters and creating what she calls “an expanded galley layout.” Shown here, the main work area with farmhouse sink, concrete counters, and open shelves.
The range anchors a long work area with a prep sink.
The Shaker-style cabinetry was custom-made by Wood Mode.
One of the kitchen’s most covetable features is its custom, wood-fired grill from Grillworks, a Grillworks Architectural 36 model that allows for year-round indoor barbecuing. This section of the kitchen adjoins the dining room and the butcher-block-topped counter is used as a serving area.
