Another Small Kitchen

Here's a very compact "kitchenette" I built a few years ago using the GE convection/micro and the Wolf 15" cooktop. There is a Bosch dishwasher between the sink and the cooktop.  This arrangement with a small but adequate sink only occupies 84 inches. The cabinets were handmade and hand-finished onsite by your humble blogger. This kitchenette was part of a much larger guesthouse project.

Fabricating and finishing the cabinets onsite can have sustainability advantages if there's room to do it. It allows us to work closely with eco-conscious owners to specify locally sourced, non toxic materials and finishes.

The backsplash is travertine and the countertop is granite. Not shown is a 27" sub-zero refrigerator-freezer  and a 15" trash pull-out. The entire kitchen occupies 10' along one wall but could have been designed as a 7' by 7' galley. The Sub-Z 27" series just came on the market a few years ago and is a good compact choice if an undercounter fridge is just too spartan.
