Steal This Look: Malcolm Davis Kitchen in San Francisco

April 5, 2011

Our friend Berry recently overhauled her light-flooded Potrero Hill kitchen, notable for its panoramic view of downtown San Francisco, with the help of local architect Malcolm Davis. Influenced by the whole new era of eco consciousness, Berry and Malcolm sought out a certified green contractor—Scott Meadows of Meadows Green Building and Design—and salvaged as much as possible from the original kitchen (they kept the 15-year-old Gaggenau cooktop, for instance, repaneled the existing Sub-Zero refrigerator, and built shelves using wood from the demolition). Meadows recycled all debris from the project at San Rafael's Marin Resource Recovery Transfer Station.

The Minta Faucet from Grohe's Water Care line is $387 from e-Faucets and offers an estimated 30 percent water reduction usage over typical faucets.
