WELLNE S S DE SIGN
Well(ness) Done
A designer prioritizes homeowners'
health through product selection
and space planning
SARAH WALKER, PRINCIPAL DESIGNER and CEO of Bellevue, Wash.based
Nuance Interior Design Showroom, worked to create an inclusive
wellness strategy for this kitchen. Spanning aging-in-place ergonomics,
technology and environmental concerns, her approach to the project was
cross-disciplinary.
Since the new-build secondary kitchen measured a compact 13 by 13
feet, all the key areas were comfortably close together. Th e issue was optimizing
the counter space and customizing the storage to fi t the present
and future needs of the homeowners.
Appliances were scaled and installed to fi t the space and the people who
would be using them. A slim 30-inch refrigerator houses both a cooler and
freezer. A combination microwave/speed oven does the job of two appliances
in the space of one. Walker stacked a built-in coff ee maker over the oven at a
height that's slightly higher than usual to facilitate easy use of both appliances.
" Often a coff ee machine is set at counter level, but I thought that would
push the speed oven too low for safe and comfortable access by the homeowners, "
said the designer.
INTENTIONAL CONVENIENCE
Walker maximized storage with high-functioning organizers and accessories.
Th ose in the base cabinets include a pullout and drawer insert for

ABOVE In the 169-square-foot
secondary kitchen designed
by Sarah Walker of Nuance
Interior Design Showroom,
large operable windows are
shaded by GreenGuardcertifi

that are AI compatible. From
the satin aluminum frames
of the upper cabinets and
washed-oak perimeter units
to the leathered quartzite
counters and hand-carved
limestone backsplash tiles,
the design encourages
tranquility and quiet luxury.
