Center of the Home
“No matter where I serve my guests, they seem to like my kitchen best.” This embroidered observation was framed and hung on a wall in our house. In contemporary homes, the modern kitchen is often the center of family activities and entertaining. TJC placed this kitchen literally at the center of the floor plan of a new home on 17 Mile Drive in Pebble Beach. The kitchen counter and cabinets back up to one wall (the stairwell to a mezzanine) and opens up on the other three sides to adjacent rooms under a high sloped ceiling. Standing at the counter, you can look left, past a breakfast nook into the courtyard; or you can look across the living room to the ocean through a curved wall of windows. In this floor plan, the guests will always be near the attractions of the kitchen.
