I've always felt as comfortable in a carpenters workshop as I do in the kitchen. There is something about the orderliness of the space, the tools having their place and the cleanup after a session of harried yet precise creation that echos the rhythm of a great session of cooking. The architects of bulthaup coupled with design company EOOS to re-imagine the kitchen to reflect the principles of a workshop.


Separate spaces for an appliance cabinet, a workbench and a cabinet sized 'tool box' comprise the entire space. The appliance cabinets have the ability to fold up and close for a clean sleek finish, much like a tidied up carpenters workroom. There's not much I dislike about the space - from the wood finish to the lack of drawers = quick access to tools and glassware to the stainless steel finish of the work bench. 

This is a space not for lingering, but to get stuff done. It's an expression of efficiency I wish I had in my kitchen space.
