Kitchen Remodel in the Schwimmer Residence described by
Architect Duncan Nicholson:
This fall (2012) I finished remodeling the
kitchen and adjacent laundry room of John Lautner’s Schwimmer house in Beverly
Hills, California. My client had definite ideas about how and what she wanted
to build both aesthetically and materially and I agreed since they reinforced
the nature of the architecture. I had ideas regarding adjustments to the Plan
in order to prefect the circulation and she agreed. Lautner designed the home
in 1982 to be a modern castle and two of the seven circular stone turrets flank
the view end of the kitchen, enclosing pantries. The original Pirelli black
rubber floor was ripped out, the framing structurally reinforced to support
both a new stone floor along with a 12’ long island and a new 7’ cantilevered
dining table of 2” thick stone. Walnut was chosen as the cabinet material and
all stainless steel appliances and fixtures compliment the afore mentioned
material.

Remodel Described by Contractor Dick Minium:
The
kitchen in this John Lautner-designed home underwent a full remodel that
included installing 1” thick black walnut cabinets, Bouquet Canyon Stone floors
and 2” thick chiseled edge Pennsylvania Blue Limestone countertops. The same
stone and cabinetry were also used in the remodeled laundry room.

Wow! That looks great. I wish that my kitchen was as pretty as that one. I think that I am going to start saving up money to do a kitchen remodel. I also have to convince my wife to let me repaint the cabinets. She loves the color they are right now. http://www.gfhandyman.com/Kitchen-Remodel.html
