Going Residential...

I have been assigned to design a residential kitchen for MARLEE MATLIN.

Who is she??

Marlee Matlin is an academy award winning actress, who happens to be deaf.

She was born August 24, 1965. It was discovered at the age of 18 months that due to a case of the measles she had become deaf. She quickly grew to have a talent for acting, starting at age 7 as Dorothy in Wizard of Oz for a children's theatre. At age 21 she was the youngest actress to win a "Best Actress" academy award for her role in Children of a Lesser God. She played in a small number of movies after that, and also played guest roles in a number of TV series. She tried her hand in producing but has settled on writing for now. She has published 3 books, including her autobiography. She is also a strong activist for many charities, especially those dealing with people who cannot hear.

Fun Facts that could prove of use:

She's deaf

She's jewish

She's married

She has 4 children

Food Lab Concept

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

I chose PHOTOSYNTHESIS as my productive system metaphor.

Food Lab Inspiration

These modular shelves caught my attention because it was specified to stay away from drawers and to have easy clean storage, lots of storage.

This is a food lab at another school. Given the space we have to work with this is not ideal but the different stations to prepare at with stationary ovens/stoves to share seem to be the best way to go.

This is the Food Network Test Kitchen. I see this as good inspiration for the teaching station. Spread out across a horizontal axis for a better line of sight for students.

This is a better view of how i think the teaching station should be. Still has a horizontal axis of workspace but this better shows how to possibly include things like the fridge and storage.

This is a test lab for a food company. I see good use of vertical axis for storage and open storage that is easily accessible. Also there is a good amount of work top or counter top space.
