This new kitchen in Washington DC was the culmination of a multi-phase full renovation of an urban condo, which spanned a two-year period. The main goal was to integrate the kitchen with the rest of the renovated living space. Towards this end, the surrounding non-structural piers were removed and a dropped ceiling demolished, so that all areas blend together seamlessly as one unified space.
华盛顿特区的这个新厨房是一个为期两年的城市公寓的多阶段全面翻新的高潮。主要目的是将厨房与翻新过的生活空间的其余部分集成在一起。为此，拆除了周围非结构桥墩，拆除了吊顶，使所有区域无缝地融合在一起，成为一个统一的空间。
The kitchen is a focal point from the main entrance of the unit, and the island serves as an important mediating element between entry and living room in this open design.
厨房是单位正门的一个焦点，在这个开放的设计中，海岛是进入和起居室之间的重要中介元素。
The design consists of three key design gestures: 1- LAYERING : A limited palette of materials are used in different spatial planes so they operate as a series of distinct layers. The dark stained ash, cherry wood and aluminum surrounding the fireplace are replicated on the kitchen island and rear cabinetry. The island acts as a furniture piece, visually connecting kitchen to living area.
该设计由三个关键的设计姿态组成：1层：在不同的空间平面上使用有限的材料调色板，因此它们作为一系列不同的层次运行。壁炉周围的黑灰、樱桃木和铝被复制在厨房岛和后置橱柜上。这个岛就像一件家具，从视觉上把厨房和生活区连接起来。
2- FRAMING : A wood-slatted “trellis” runs the length of the island, just below the ceiling, and continues down the wall. This frame element provides lighting for the island, while also creating a threshold within the kitchen. The existing copper water pipes were left exposed as a complement to the frame, connecting the island to the wood trellis above – a utilitarian element now celebrated as a unique feature in the space.
2框架：一个木板条“格子”运行在岛的长度，就在天花板之下，并继续沿着墙。这个框架元素为岛上提供照明，同时也在厨房内创造一个门槛。现有的铜制水管是作为框架的补充而暴露出来的，把岛上和上面的木格子连接起来-这是一种功利主义的元素，现在被誉为空间中的一个独特特征。
3- FOLDING The condominium’s bamboo flooring was duplicated on the side wall of the kitchen, appearing to fold up and further connect kitchen to living area. This wall also conceals doors to the walk-in pantry and Powder Room, contributing to the minimal look of the condominium overall.
将共管公寓楼的竹地板折叠在厨房的侧壁上，似乎折叠起来，并将厨房与生活区进一步连接起来。这面墙也隐藏了步入式厨房和粉末房的门，有助于整个共管公寓的最低外观。
Energy-efficient LED lighting is used throughout the space as “lines of light” either floating as objects, or highlighting key defining elements. The glossy white upper cabinetry, glass backsplash and quartz countertops are reflective surfaces that provide a luminous backdrop to the composition.
节能LED照明在整个空间中用作“光线”，既可以作为对象浮动，也可以突出显示关键定义元素。光泽白色上部机柜、玻璃背板和石英台面是反射表面，为成分提供发光背景。
