HEALTHY NON-TOXIC KITCHEN, NUTLEY
2023 ASID NJ Gold Award For Design Excellence,
Design for People with Special or Specific Needs (Chemical Sensitivity)
KITCHEN PROBLEM: The clients are highly sensitive to chemical off-gassing and odor.
KITCHEN SOLUTION: Although the clients had the typical kitchen renovation wish, the critical priority was to design a space for clients who are chemically sensitive. The sustainability focus in this project was turbo charged. The designer was deeply involved in vetting every material (especially the cabinetry), many sample-tested for client approval. As requested, the designer delivered a standing workstation at an island, improved storage, a calm neutral color palette all in a healthy, non-toxic space.
