Doric Island Unit

Doric Island Unit

Initial draft.

JA 2012

  • This is a design for a kitchen island unit that was to house a sink, & 2 kitchen appliances.
  • The treatment of the front was initially inspired by a traditional sideboard. Robustness appropriate to a kitchen suggested the use of baseless Greek Doric columns for the legs.
  • This idea then extended into the treatment of the upper portion inspired by a Doric entablature with its frieze of alternating triglyphs & metopes.
