The Back Kitchen Behind the Show Kitchen
The serious cooking moved backstage, with the scullery and prep kitchens hiding the mess, the appliances, and the catering chaos behind the sculptural front-of-house, the second space plumbed, vented, and powered as a full kitchen in its own right, and the entertaining flow designed around the secret, the luxury organized into public and private layers, the dinner party served from a room the guests never suspect exists.
The dinner party is served from a room the guests never suspect exists. Endless Life Design designs and permits the back kitchens entertaining homes hide. Call (305) 680-3283 for kitchens with a backstage. The second space is plumbed, vented, and powered as a full kitchen in its own right.
The Hood That Moves Serious Air and Its Makeup Twin
The professional range demands a balanced atmosphere, with the high-capacity hood's exhaust paired with the makeup air system the code requires once the airflow crosses its threshold, the negative pressure that back-drafts appliances prevented by design, and the ductwork sized and routed for the volumes the chef ordered, the ventilation engineered as a system of two halves, the kitchen breathing correctly because the air leaving was matched by air invited in.
The kitchen breathes correctly because the air leaving was matched by air invited in. Endless Life Design pairs serious hoods with their makeup air. Call (305) 680-3283 for ventilation balanced by design. Once exhaust crosses the code's threshold, makeup air stops being optional.
The Lighting the Designer Specifies in Threes
The room is lit in layers, with the task lighting at the work surfaces, the ambient wash across the volume, and the accent beams on the stone and shelving each doing a separate job, the fixtures, temperatures, and placements specified as a composition rather than a count of cans, and the layers wired to be summoned separately, the kitchen photographed beautifully and worked in comfortably, the light designed with the same care as the cabinetry it falls on.
The light is designed with the same care as the cabinetry it falls on. Endless Life Design specifies kitchen lighting in its proper layers. Call (305) 680-3283 for rooms lit like they were designed. Task, ambient, and accent layers are wired to be summoned separately, never as a single block of glare over everything.
