A HIDDEN SPACE

A redesign disguises work spaces
in an open loft

OFTEN TOO MANY WALLS ARE THE PROBLEM in a redesign, but almost no
interior walls in many loft spaces provides a different set of challenges.
"Without standard walls, we came up with innovative storage solutions,"
said designer Paul Bentham, who completed the design with Chevy Chase,
Md.-based Jennifer Gilmer Kitchen and Bath."The concrete floors and support columns lent coldness to the space, so it was also critical to add warmth."

WALL-LESS CHALLENGES

With a modern look in mind, the client wanted there to be concealed work
spaces that could be closed up for entertaining. However, there were no wall
cabinets in the original space to work with and only one interior wall.
"Our solution was installing a quartet of pantries with retractable doors
along the sole supporting interior wall," said Bentham, who used AutoCad
for this project. "The tall doors open and slide into the sides of the cabinets,
out of the way. Open, they reveal almost 18 linear feet of work space."
The handles on the retractable doors were custom designed to allow the
doors to slide in to the maximum depth without hindering their usability.The
refrigerator, freezer and ovens are stacked along the exterior wall adjacent to
the pantry quartet to complete the high-functioning kitchen layout.
WARMING UP THE SPACE

Concrete floors and cement walls need balance with warmer materials.A greenstained door the client loved inspired the finishes, starting with an exotic greentinted wood on the pantry quartet.
Both islands counterbalance this with ebony-stained ash. On the islands
and along the perimeter, dark walnut cabinetry adds another shade of warmth.
"Using walnut cabinets makes the space seem slightly softer,"added Bentham. 
