Which Leslie House kitchen is black?

The black kitchen is the long kitchen: one continuous cabinet wall facing an island, documented on the ID-01 coordination sheet.

Which Leslie House kitchen is white?

The white kitchen is the U-shaped kitchen with its own island, documented on the ID-05 coordination sheet.

What must be coordinated before custom kitchen cabinets are fabricated?

The millwork dimensions must be checked against appliance specifications, plumbing points, electrical feeds, lighting recesses, finished floor elevations, wall planes and access clearances before fabrication is released.

Two Kitchens — Leslie House, 913 SW 15 Avenue, Miami

The kitchens are not variations of one room. The long kitchen is the black kitchen: a continuous wall of cabinetry facing an island. The U-shaped kitchen with its own island is the white kitchen. Keeping those identities straight matters because each one coordinates a different appliance package, plumbing layout, electrical rough-in and millwork geometry.

The black kitchen is the long kitchen

The long elevation concentrates tall storage, ovens and the working wall into one dark plane, with the island held clear in front. The drawing is valuable because it shows the whole coordination problem at once: cabinet modules, appliance openings, clearances and the island relationship before any casework reaches the site.

The white kitchen is the U-shaped kitchen

The second kitchen turns the working run around the room and pairs it with a separate island. It is not the long black elevation. Its shop sheet is shown beside the black kitchen so the difference is legible without requiring the reader to open a drawing set.

From millwork sheet to installation

Academia Development coordinated the cabinet dimensions against the architectural openings, appliance requirements, plumbing points, electrical feeds and concealed lighting. Leslie and Terry retained the owner-builder’s control over the decisions; the professional team translated those decisions into dimensions that could be fabricated and installed.

The two design identities follow the owners’ correction and the project archive. The field strip documents the long kitchen during installation; it is not presented as evidence of the separate white kitchen.
