I did this kitchen when Corian first came out. It was also around the time that euro hinges were first being used. I posted these pictures on another forum and was asked why I would put up a project that was 30-35 years old. My response to that was – why look at pictures of a 200 yr old antique? I feel that craftsmanship and creativity is ageless. My challenge when planning this kitchen was to come up with a design that was contemporary and unique. I tried to create a certain clean and “custom fitted” look. As I look at these pictures today the design to me still looks appealing.
Besides trying to fulfill the needs of the client for storage and versatility, I wanted a different look, almost a furniture look. The appliances give away the age. This was one of my “high end” projects that was a little avant garde at the time. I have included a full description in the “Projects” with pictures 4-6.

Hi Cabinetman.
We must be wired the same. It can’t be just a coincidence that we both posted the the same kind of project at about the same time.
Wood is wood no matter when you made it. I bet it still looks great.
Welcome back!!

it’s beautiful – very clean looking. (love and am envious of the shelving inside those cupboards!!!!)
why post something from days gone by? that’s a bizarre question. As soon as you start working on a new project, the finished projects are “old” – old visions, old ideas, old skills…
thanks for sharing!!

I like it. You can always upgrade the appliances. An artisan crafted kitchen? that’s good for a lifetime! (the lifetime of the house that is)

I love it, looks modern to me even now. The storage space is great and you’d never expect that behind those doors.

Pan shelves were ahead of their time at that point.. Like the tip outs and the cubby/bookshelf… Nice…
