Buckhead Kitchen

A Clean & Clever Design
Atlanta’s affluent Buckhead neighborhood is known for its upscale shopping and boutique art galleries. Within one of its high-rise condo buildings, our client invited us to reimagine his kitchen. Our client, a business traveling bachelor, rarely cooked. This created an interesting set of challenges as we considered the functionality of the space. We decided to position the kitchen as a butler’s pantry and use different materials to hide the room’s appliances. The fridge was given a mirrored door, as well as the nearby washer and dryer. A hidden island provided a great space for the kitchen’s cooktop.
The room features clean custom cabinetry and crown molding throughout, and we even raised the concrete countertops from 36 to 39 inches to create a height more appropriate for the 6’-5” client. We designed the space with two separate, but connected, backsplashes: a solid, bright orange and a rich chocolate striped in that same orange.
This kitchen is a great example of how Idol Design can work within any floor plan to create a more purposeful space that delivers lasting comfort.
