Project Case Study { Spotlight on creative, problem-solving kitchens and baths } and livability, Khachi added custom walnut cabinetry and appliance panels for the 48" GE Monogram refrigerator and freezer, which is fanked by a GE monogram oven and a GE Monogram Advantium speedcook oven. Cabinet details, such as drawers with softclose hinges, stainless steel glides and glass panel sides, make the kitchen user friendly. Khachi also removed a half wall to open up the kitchen to the family room. As far as functionality and durability, "because we started with a house with mold, we wanted to create something that lived forever, without those worries," he adds. The quartz countertops and quartersawn oak fooring speak to durability, as do a number of features beneath the surface that are not visible. For functionality, Khachi focused on the large refrigerator and freezer, lighting, an attached table and details such as the compost bin. Overall, Khachi chose design elements and materials that would have broad appeal, since he realizes this kitchen wouldn't appeal to everyone. More importantly, he wants people to take the "thought process, the details, the notions about how things connect…those things apply to every kitchen," he says.
