Bunker Workshop

Chris from Bunker Workshop helped us transform a generic kitchen in a residential, turn-​of-​the-​century building in Boston’s South End into a sleek, modern space. The open layout necessitated a seamless transition between the kitchen and the living room, which Chris accomplished with a 120″ x 40″ cantilevered countertop below a pair of Caravaggio fixtures. The Cemento Silestone countertop has a 3″ mitered laminate edge with recessed LED lights, turning the countertop itself into a strong architectural element. To keep the cost down, we used IKEA cabinet frames along with Semihandmade door fronts, custom-​made walnut doors and shelves, a Kohler 45″ Stages sink, and a KWC Ono faucet.
The galley kitchen was quite small, so Chris designed a pantry area along with an additional countertop space to accommodate the width of an espresso machine and a grinder. Chris helped us achieve the vision of a minimalist kitchen with all the conveniences of full-​size Jenn-​Air Professional and Miele appliances, while working within constraints that were both spatial and budgetary. We couldn’t be happier with the end result, and plan to use Chris’s design services in remodeling the rest of the apartment.
