Photographing this traditional style built-in was made easy by the warm, bamboo wood and the clean, white lines of the cabinetry. Although the space was no trouble aesthetically, it took extra time to make sure I featured the custom workmanship and clever storage space as well. Surrounding the stove top are slide-out spice drawers, warming racks and multiple other storage options concealed in the built-in. The multiple built-ins and bold departure from the existing kitchen helped transform the room into a modern and highly functional space.

It would be interesting to find out whether the cabinet was something entirely different or whether it was custom built storage for the kitchen because I don't know about you, but I think it's a little funny that it's an entirely different colour from the rest of the pristine white of the rest of the room..
Hi Mark,
The whole kitchen was custom built out of our shop. What you can't tell from the picture here is that this Sapele unit is not alone. The Island adjacent to it is also Sapele. Spell timbers and millwork make a significant appearance in the rest of this home and the owners wanted to bring some of those elements into their kitchen space. If you would like to see more photos please visit our website http://www.silvermapleconstruction.com. This project is featured in both our woodworks section and our overall project portfolio. Thanks for the comment!

Kitchen space will always need some clever solutions for storage! This part of the house will need to have some planning done properly. Otherwise, it would be too costly as some of the storage units are fixed and costly to change and re-arrange.
