From kitchen workstation designs to compact armoire kitchens, the YesterTec design company has space-saving ideas for compact kitchen projects.
In some models, upper doors fold back to reveal the kitchen countertop which includes a small stainless steel sink, 2-burner cooktop and microwave hood. A small refrigerator-freezer and dishwasher are hidden in the bottom of the unit. Units are configured to meet the user’s needs, but the YesterTec site shows several possibilities.
All this convenience is a bit pricey. The Armoire Kitchen with appliances by Subzero, Kenyon, Paykel, and GE sells for about $10,000 USD.
