Foster Residence

Sierra Oaks, Sacramento, CA

To make this kitchen bigger, we removed the adjoining bedroom closet walls and relocated the entry into the dining room. This created an island that became central to the function and traffic flow with seating for everyone. “The layout of this kitchen made it very difficult to do anything. There was no balance to the work stations & getting to the family room meant you had to walk through the kitchen. Because of the funny layout, storage was all over the place. To make it all work & to bring a better flow to the space I flipped the kitchen into the nook area and created a wall for the cooktop which gave us a walk-in pantry. The island (now the focal point of the room) contains the sink, dishwasher & seating area. With the ovens & refrigerator on the back wall, there is easy access to all the work stations with multiple working triangles.”
