That's not a pantry; that's a kitchen next to another kitchen.

I am having a hard time understanding why anyone would ever need not only an oversized stove with what seems like 6 burners and 2 ovens in the kitchen, but an extra 2 (!!) ovens in the pantry (plus microwave). And normalizing living like this just encourages the more is mooore mindset, which we all know is not ideal if we want to live sustainably (as a mindset but also quite literally as the extra appliances use electricity constantly even if off, plus of course the resources going into producing them and resources to deal with them once they become waste when you move to even bigger home with even bigger kitchen with more pantries and more new appliances) i wish you as a designer not only of your home but homes of others would encourage living more sustainably, especially because it seems you do have the means to do so for your own home, but also have the power to decide on materials and sustainable design processes for clients as well. I never ever comment on anything but this big and bigger mindset that architects and designers promote is really not something we should subscribe to

I feel like the La Canche and La Cornue ranges are more status symbols than anything at this point. No shade, but I can't imagine having that big beautiful island and gorgeous range and opting to bake in the more cramped pantry where there's limited counter space and I have to wash dirty bowls and utensils by hand because the dishwasher's in the kitchen. Congrats on their success and their ability to build their dream home, but I think this video highlights that their designs are more for aesthetic than functionality. Who wants such a massive kitchen where the white carrara marble on the island and behind the range need to stay pristine, and have to literally build a closet where I can do most of my heavy cooking on a sturdy (and cramped) butcher block countertop that can handle the demands of regular cooking and baking? There are literally *four* ovens in that home and only one is used and another partially used.

That's not a pantry that's a full kitchen. There are studio apartments with smaller kitchens than your pantry.

People need to stop hating on this pantry “second kitchen” I would love this especially for holidays and parties!

[rhephokrits]

In the Philippines we call that our 'dirty' kitchen which means it's the kitchen most used and can make a mess but not keep it a mess.

I love everything about studio McGee, but this one, hmm, not so much, design is amazing as always, but pointless, for me that's the kitchen next to the kitchen, one more room for cleaning plus with such amazing main kitchen, what's the point to have second one, because that is not what we called a pantry

My best part is when she said: “more exciting projects to come” 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[krisztinakovacs]

Why does she has an oven in the pantry when she has that huge range in the kitchen?

[justindrake]

Beautiful but why have that huge gorgeous kitchen to use the pantry more

[Semaphoore]

It looks like small kitchen inside the big kitchen. I am not sure why there is a sink in there. Is that common in USA?

[dianewicks]

I love this pantry! It is exactly how I would do a butler's pantry if given the chance...but I would also add a small beverage cooler with varying temps for water, soda, wine, etc. Beautiful job!

[heimiticuellar]

I mean this is a kitchen within a kitchen, not a pantry wtf

[ideasparacompartir]

They didnt eat? An ordinary home have much more food like tins Jars etc etc. It look like a fake pantry. It just another kitchen. Please show a real pantry no one for a video! Its beauty offcourse but no real

[griffin]

It looks really nice ...but I don't understand why there is a kitchen with in a kitchen? ? Why not cook in your larger kitchen. ...why the need for two ???

[izzyf]

i love how you actually thought about function over aesthetic (even tho your pantry is stunning)

[kathleenaskew]

The dark bench top looks lovely and tying it into the main island was very clever. I would love to see a night time shot of how well the lighting works in this space too. The snack draw is genius.

[laurah]

This was recommended to me, but I have different priorities in life. I can’t believe Americans live this way. It’s obscene

[jeffleo]

Love Studio McGee design but really this so called pantry is truly another kitchen It saddens me to see this kind of over consumption on a planet burdened by western consumerism. You have a main kitchen with a large range cooker but then add yet more ovens in the pantry. Your pantry would the main kitchen in a high end UK home. Could you explain why you would need a second kitchen space off the main kitchen?

[MorganTalksbeauty]

very beautiful. I love how you make the dark stain blend and with contract to your very light rooms. You have a very unique yet beautiful style. Love your target line !
