Situated just off the kitchen, this indispensable space is more than just an extension of the kitchen.

Customized storage, a sink

and niche appliances create a

preparation space

that is invaluable when entertaining. With today’s open space floor plans, a

butler’s pantry

acts as a buffer zone while entertaining allowing you to keep the messier activities out of sight. It can function as a

wet bar

for mixing drinks and brewing espresso, or a staging area to plate food for guests.
