Previously the kitchen in this historic townhouse was located in a modest, rear addition, separated from the dining room by a narrow door. As the kitchen sits in dialog with unrestored portions of the 19th century interior GRT Architects sought to avoid an ‘over-renovated’ appearance. This meant meant keeping storage and appliances from view, limiting hard surfaces, and celebrating unusual material combinations such as brass plate and linoleum on the island, and stainless steel with plywood and high pressure laminate cabinets featuring ABET LAMINATI.
