The architects' conviction that the best storage is unseen worked out as successfully in the kitchen (usually the most over-stocked room of all) as in the rest of the house. Walls freed from the usual hanging cabinets and a sparkling blue, gray and white color scheme give the kitchen a sense of space and tranquility, making it an inviting spot for children's dining and occasional family meals. The two sleek work counters (one topped with white Micarta, the other with stainless steel) hold dishes, place mats and cooking necessities in addition to the under-counter dishwasher and warming oven. Food is stored in two walk-in rooms (one refrigerated, the other not) near the service entrance where a package receiver takes deliveries. An equally capacious walk-in china closet near the dining room holds everything needed for table settings, down to the last finger bowl.
