"The predominant feature of this kitchen is its curved, multi-level island. Not only is it multi-level, but multi-functional as well, featuring areas for prep, clean up and casual gathering. Because the kitchen is centrally located in the home, it was important to create flow around the island and maximize workspace on the inside. It features a microwave oven built into an elevated cabinet, placing it at a comfortable height without blocking the view. In addition to plenty of storage, a dishwasher and wine cooler are also contained in the island."
"A blend of materials makes this island a striking focus: The sink is set into a Silestone countertop, and teak was used to create the end grain work surface, as well as the breakfast bar top and the free-form drink shelf behind the microwave."
