Mountain Aerie

This cooks' kitchen includes back-to-back cutting boards - one savory and one baking, two pop-up appliance trays in cabinets, one for the Cuisinart, and one for the mixer, an open air basket drawer for root vegetables. The Gaggenau oven set includes a steam oven. The biomorphic custom hood was inspired by the Guggenheim Bilbao. Roja marble mosaic tile spans from the countertop to ceiling.

The custom built cabinets are finished with a plaster paint application mimicking antique red lacquer tansu. The natural cherry interspersed was harvested from Aldo Leopold's forest in Wisconsin. Exposed nail heads mimic tansu cabinetry.

The 42" standing desk or catering counter has photographs mounted on magnet beneath a wood veneer.
