Close-Up: The smooth-running kitchen of the Atrium House

PHOTOGRAPHS BY ROBERT McGINNIS Left: Mrs. Alexander prepares salad at the "island," which combines a shallow sit-down sink, bin for vegetables, and disposal unit. Center: the kitchen seen from the dining room across the travertine serving counter. Bottom: Living-dining area seen from the kitchen, across serving counter. Folding doors can screen the counter from either side. Continued from page 18. THE KITCHEN WAS planned to provide maximum storage space and enough counter surface to take care of large parties, and still be a compact area for daily use. Ribbon-stripe mahogany was used for all cabinets, and the work surface flows smoothly along from counter to stove to built-in appliance center (with motor under the counter) to counter below the wall refrigerator. The wall refrigerator has proved a wonderful convenience, but the Alexanders prudently held on to their standard model, too, for bulky items like turkey and watermelon. Another great convenience has been the "island," supplemented by a standard sink and dishwasher as shown on the plan below.

So delicious they're almost wicked!
