A Window Alcove Kitchen on Woodpark Crescent

At this Kelowna kitchen sink, the counter runs right into the window alcove. The raised sill, tiled returns and pale cabinetry frame the view outside.

Bringing the counter up to the window

The window sits in a recess deeper than the surrounding kitchen wall. In May the crew raised the alcove counter to the bottom of the window and prepared the returns for tile. From the sink, the opening reads as one continuous sill. From the island, the small tiles around the window pick up the line of the backsplash on either side.

A detail at floor level

The installation photographs also show what disappears when the cabinet fronts go on. Backing and drywall repairs preceded the tile. After grouting and sealing the backsplash, the team returned to the cabinet base to box in a duct. That work redirected the air through the toe-kick vent instead of letting it escape beside the dishwasher.

From cabinet delivery to the finished window

Tiled window recess above a double kitchen sink — The raised sill reaches the bottom of the window, with tile wrapping the sides.

Stainless range and microwave between white cabinet fronts — Across from the island, the microwave fits beneath the upper cabinets.

Unfinished sink wall with the window recess exposed — The depth of the alcove is easier to see before the countertop and backsplash go in.

Open duct space at floor level beneath a cabinet — The July return visit concentrated on directing air through the cabinet base.
