RIGHT Creating straight lines
for sleek Italian cabinets
meant getting the fi llers just
right, while a slight angle in
the ceiling led Dresner to hang
them a few inches down. The
white cabinets include plenty
of organizational features,
such as silverware and spice
trays, and the black surfaces
create a striking contrast.
there were concrete posts and plumbing risers with top-to-bottom water
lines, " said Dresner. " I couldn't remove walls to make a big island that looked
at the lake, so I just embraced the shape I had to work with. "
BEYOND BASIC BATHROOM
Th e primary bath was redone to replace a small shower and built-in tub.
Dresner opened the space by removing a toilet room, enabling him to take
advantage of the cityscape view.
He created a luxurious bathroom with a modern spa-like feel with white
glass cabinets in a glossy fi nish. One tile is used throughout, and there is
now a freestanding tub and a glass-enclosed shower, which maintains the
open feel. Th e shower has an elevated system with pushbutton controls.
Th e installation of the shower system threw a curveball at the project.
Th e new system needed to be plumbed diff erently because it includes three
diverter control buttons rather than the usual two. When the installers
realized it, the marble was already on the wall. In lieu of cutting through
marble or replacing it, the team was able to go in through the other side of
the wall, which is in a bedroom.
EXPANDING THE KITCHEN POSSIBILITIES
Th e original kitchen was tiny and sat in an angled corner. Along a nearby
wall - one that boasted its own random angle - was a built-in desk. Between
the two, a triangular drywall corner wall measuring about 4 by 2 feet created
some separation.
" I love the building, but this was a crazy, angled fl oor plan with really awkward
spaces, " said Dresner. " One of my biggest pet peeves about kitchens is
angles because it's diffi cult for them to be perfect on a drawing. "
Luckily, when he opened the triangular wall, there was nothing inside
but one vent. He ripped it out, gaining a bit of space and connecting the
former desk wall with the kitchen, which allowed him to reconfi gure the
somewhat more open room.
