Kitchen by San Francisco Architect Andre Rothblatt to Be Featured on Cover of the Premiere Issue of Small Kitchen Magazine
San Francisco, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) July 20, 2011
The cover of the first-ever issue of Small Kitchen will feature a ?modern bistro?-style kitchen designed by San Francisco residential architect Andre Rothblatt. The kitchen design makes use of various techniques to make the small space feel more expansive, including decorative open shelving, a wall-mounted pot pack, and a free-standing butcher block island in the center.
?I am honored to have my design chosen by Small Kitchen,? said Rothblatt. ?This particular kitchen used some rather unorthodox methods to make the most of a limited amount of space, creating an open, welcoming, and fun atmosphere.?
The kitchen featured on the cover of Small Kitchen combines an Old-World look with modern convenience. Rothblatt worked closely with the client, who is a wine sommelier and avid cook, to create the updated bistro look. The client takes cooking end entertaining as serious business, and she was an active participant in the design of the kitchen.
The focus of the kitchen is a six-burner range with a shiny stainless steel hood. The countertops are likewise stainless steel, the cabinets are simply painted white, and white subway tiles to the ceiling providing a simple yet interesting backdrop. Space-saving features such as a wall-mounted pot pack and a smaller, store-bought butcher block island (instead of a larger fixed island) give the kitchen both versatility and flair. The whole look is brought together by the black and white checkerboard floor.
Rothblatt knows that in San Francisco, where real estate is at a premium and spaces can be compact, kitchens must be efficient to make full use of the small space. But he also knows that a small kitchen can have a big personality.
?By using the space creatively, you can turn a cramped, inconvenient kitchen into a warm, welcoming environment,? Rothblatt explains. ?It just takes a little imagination.?
