popout nook
Study nook, high windows, light!, connected
Kid-height fruit bowl

"Eckert designed and built a rolling island that can be pulled out when the couple entertain."
"Unable to expand the footprint enough to accommodate a breakfast table, Mempa and Schwalbach asked their cabinetmaker to design a custom pullout bench seat that faces the garden. The bench can be tucked away so it is neatly flush with the adjacent cabinets when not in use."
"An island set on casters can be rolled around the kitchen as needed for extra counter space or seating."

Black window frames
