How to place on 4 square meters areacooking, storage system, working island, refrigerator and washing machine with dryer? Ask this question to designer Palmer Thompson-Moss. Today, readers will discover the secret of how this master masterly used the usable space in the apartment of his client from New York. “The fact that we worked with a small room actually helped us to make something brilliant out of it,” says the author of the project. In addition, in every corner of the small kitchen were used vintage accessories found in the destroyed buildings of New York. This is wooden furniture from the surviving old pines, and metro tile that was not affected by the destruction, and an old stove. Combining all this successfully with each other, the client got what he wanted.
Cuisine in facts:
- In the apartment there is one woman.
- Address: East Village, Manhattan neighborhood.
- Size: about 4 m2.
The previous kitchen was an eyesore. “You could only watch this disgustingly decorated room from the living room,” says Thompson-Moss. The designer likes to use in his projects not only processed materials, but also antique items that have survived the destruction. So, on images 1 and 2 you can see a cabinet made from old dense pine beams. In their previous lives, they were part of the buildings in New York. 
Through advertisements on the Internet, the master found onLong Island Armoid oven from the 1930s. Before installing, he thoroughly cleaned and polished it. “You will need to do some analysis to make sure the antique slabs can still serve you and will fit perfectly into your space,” he says. Metro backsplash ceramic tiles have been discovered in old New York City apartments. Details on vintage kitchen accessories can be found. 
In cabinets with long glass doors and inopen racks around the workspace, you can arrange a beautiful collection of dishes of the landlord. Shelves make a large island look like a separate piece of furniture. “It doesn't look like a massive object,” says Thompson-Moss. 
Part of the space in the kitchen island is a washing machine and dryer. This "miracle of technology" from the company LG combines both functions in one subject, which saves space. 
Built-in appliances are considered great.solution to free up space in the interior. So, the integrated Blomberg fridge, trimmed from the outside with wooden panels, perfectly fit into the new design. The author of this wonderful project had to leave the wall on the left side of the sink, because it had a water supply system built into it. The top cabinet actually wraps around this part, and the glass panel on its facade does not make it look inappropriate. 
The shell was found in the destroyed depot in Harlem (Manhattan). Herbeau luminaires are one of the few new things in the kitchen. They were carefully chosen for the style of the sink. 
The antique wardrobe was polished to a shine. Chamotte tile was used as a floor covering, as well as reconstructed, of the brand Debris Series, the color of green sage. 
With sprinkler pipes at the top of the kitchenhaving some problems. This is due to the design of new cabinets. Since they could not be moved, the designer made a hole in the door through which the pipe passes. This door will be stationary, but inside the cabinet can be reached through another.
