Best Small Kitchen, NKBA BC 2016
Brewery Creek
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VANCOUVER, BC (DECEMBER 6, 2016) - Vancouver-based design firm Corey Klassen Interior Design received an award for Best Small Kitchen at the National Kitchen & Bath Association British Columbia Chapter's 2016 Design Excellence Awards. Eight NKBA-Member local design firms and kitchen & bath companies received their awards on December 3, 2016 at The Butcher and Bullock.
The award was accepted by Patrizia Stirpe, AKBD and Interior Designer at the firm.
The kitchen is located in the historic Brewery Creek and is a heritage site. "We were called into this beautiful loft because the kitchen had only recirculating ventilation and the cook was tired of setting off the building's fire alarm. By adding a unique and custom drop ceiling the ventilation was added! And hey, check out all that storage." says Corey.
The kitchen features custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, a relocatable stainless steel library ladder, custom roll-up storage, and painted integrated channels. The drop-ceiling was created to add needed cooking ventilation and additional lighting to the work surface. In addition, there is hidden storage, a custom upholstered dining bench seat, Italian walnut tabletop with steel legs, and, of course, polished concrete floors.
