The Great Room
Embracing the social aspects of life, the Great Room offers cooking, dining, and relaxation in a space larger than some studio apartments.
The main sink sits under a 48" sliding glass window and is flanked by the dishwasher and trash compactor. Dual wall ovens and a warming drawer assist in food prep while the refrigerator provides local storage of the most needed items. Cabinets along the walls and under the island afford ample storage for dry goods, cooking tools, dishes, and utensils. The cooktop on the island countertop allows the chef to interact with family and guests, and seating at the counter lets everyone help out. An overhead range hood keeps the air clean, while the sink at the end of the island separates cooking from cleaning tasks.
The 8' sliding glass door offers southern views and allow the kitchen to service outdoor needs. Inside, there is room for sideboards or bookcases throughout the space, and media & communication conduits are cast in place. Included is a Tulikivi wood burning masonry heater. Additional heating, or cooling if necessary, is by means of the hydronic radiant floor system. This branch is controlled by a floor slab thermostat so the masonry heater doesn't adversely affect the floor temperature.
