modern world kitchens we love “ A design that fits the needs of a specific client at a specific point in time is one challenge; the greater challenge is to design a space that will work for years to come.” —Chris Greenawalt, architect To open up the kitchen’s tight quarters, Greenawalt removed an adjacent divider wall and created hollow areas beneath the sink (below), counter, and custom-built bar (right), allowing resident Amy Corcoran-Hunt to sit comfortably facing them in her wheelchair. He also clad the undersides of taller cabinets in marble to create an attractive aesthetic from every angle. inform his approach, he spent one-onone time with Amy, prepping meals and doing dishes to identify key areas of frustration. “It became a problem-solving exercise,” he says. “One without universal solutions.” First, he removed a wall between the kitchen and hallway to improve fluidity of movement. “No more tight turns or having to reverse,” Amy says, beaming. Hollow spaces beneath the sink and bar now enable her to sit facing the counter, instead of having to sidle up parallel to it. New appliances, too, empower her with self-sufficiency: A dishwasher by Fisher & Paykel opens straight out like a drawer, and controls for an InSinkErator garbage disposal and Cifial faucet were repositioned to be within reach while seated. The upgrades didn’t end with functionality: Greenawalt wanted the kitchen to become a space where Amy would also feel comfortable socializing and spending time. Taking her seated vantage point into account, he clad the undersides of the higher cabinets in marble to improve her view. “It’s a great example of how her unique perspective helped us produce interesting design elements,” says Greenawalt. Amy can participate in family meals with ease, setting the table and baking cookies with Caroline. “It’s a beautiful place that we can live in exactly as we are,” she says. 68 NOVEMBER 2015 DWELL
