Owen's class at Greystone, an introduction to the professional kitchen, ran from 2 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily. Along with 17 other students, she started the day with classroom instruction devoted to a particular form of meal preparation. During one session, they learned grilling, during another braising, then on to deep frying, and so forth. Next the students, outfitted in full chef's attire, moved into the kitchen and in teams of three created a specific menu for the evening.

"Because of improvements, inventive ideas, setting appliances into cabinetry, we can integrate all these activities into one continuing, flowing space that merges through to the kitchen." The disappearance of interior walls leaves you wondering just what's holding the house up (relax--new building materials have...
That's true in the Berman house in Larchmont, N.Y., where Karen operates from a work space near the kitchen that matches its decor. For many families, this station is the household-management post, where bills are paid and report cards evaluated. Jeff Berman's office is an attic room that can double as a guest room. As technology has reduced the size of office equipment, many home offices have been getting distinctly homier and less spacious...
