KITCHEN MAKEOVER<br />

Timeless taste<br />

By Sylvia Shaw<br />

Vancouver’s brilliant Robert<br />

Ledingham is the fi rst Canadian<br />

designer to win the International<br />

Interior Design Association Leadership<br />

Award, and has collected scores of other<br />

honours during his 30 years at the top<br />

of the interior design fi eld. He was<br />

recently entrusted to create a visionary<br />

kitchen for a super-luxury condominium<br />

development at the University of British<br />

Columbia.<br />

Robert Ledingham can inspire<br />

your kitchen makeover<br />

The open plan kitchen is lit with halogen task lights and pots in<br />

the recessed ceiling, plus natural light from large windows. The<br />

countertops are Quarella quartz composite stone; the cabinets are<br />

Varenna custom-designed fl at panel in oak or cherry wood with<br />

white lacquer fi nish. The Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Fisher & Paykel<br />

DishDrawer dishwasher, is tucked into the cabinetry. The backsplash<br />

is a continuous sheet of tempered glass. Floors are solid hardwood.
