Cooking with Glass
The owners were tired of
their small, dark galley kitchen with its back turned to an unused
brick-walled courtyard. The solution came in octagonal form- that of
an Amdega Conservatory. It not only swallowed up the empty
courtyard, but it bit a large hole in the kitchen wall and roof. The
result is an exotic explosion of space and light, and a cooking
space with a distinctly European feel. A commercial gas range,
table-height fireplace in rough stone and a hefty teak island top
heighten and anchor the experience.
