This traditional-style Maryland townhouse was in need of a kitchen renovation. The client was seeking a cutting-edge design for her new kitchen. The broad shelves over two side-by-side ovens offer just the showplace for some of her collection.

Two single ovens, rather than double units, upheld the sleek design that emerged. Mother of pearl granite countertops and frosted glass tiles create a bright balance to the darker cabinets. A socially accommodating kitchen was created by turning the island in the opposite direction and diverting the table space away from the window to the back of the island.
