What was the challenge?
The need for renovation arose from the kitchen’s outdated design, which no longer aligned with the clients’ modern lifestyle and needs. The previous layout was inefficient and failed to accommodate the flow and functionality desired in a contemporary home. After dreaming of a modern oasis for over thirty years, the clients were eager to transform their space into something that truly reflected their vision. However, the process of finalizing the design posed a significant challenge, as the clients needed time to commit to a vision that would best suit their family’s evolving requirements.
What was delivered?
The renovation project was designed to fulfill the clients’ dreams by creating a modern, bright, and open space. Clean lines and crisp colors were used throughout to enhance the aesthetic, while warm tones in the flooring and island were introduced to maintain a welcoming atmosphere. The original inefficient kitchen and living room layout were reimagined by replacing the curved staircase with a straight run, thus expanding the dining area and incorporating stained beams as architectural features. This change defined the open-concept space, creating a seamless integration within the home. Moreover, by removing a wall, the kitchen was enlarged to accommodate a spacious island, enhancing both storage and functionality. Numerous design iterations were explored, and ultimately, with the aid of detailed 3D renderings, a layout was chosen that perfectly suited the clients’ needs.
