New in Gastown – BULTHAUP KITCHENS

bulthaup1

A recent addition to Gastown is the beautifully finished showroom of Bulthaup Kitchens. Located on the corner of Abbot and Cordova across from the Woodwards development site, a shining gem in the continued revitalization of the Gastown area.

Entering the showroom you get a sense of serene warmth with the natural woods and utility with the steel. The surfaces beg you to fulfill their intended use. The B1 system is inexpensive and simple, a great working kitchen that hides nothing. My favorite piece is the massive oak cabinet from the B2 system, I love how much storage is put on display in such a neat and tidy way. Offering a perfectly designed and executed product, a great line to work with Vancouver’s homes.

Elegantly showcasing each kitchen system Tuesday through Saturday; visit them to see which one is right for you.
