What was the challenge?
The homeowners wanted to modernize and optimize their space, transforming a dated layout into a functional and elegant home. Their goal was to create a bright, open-concept design that improved flow and usability while incorporating timeless aesthetics and practical storage solutions.
What was delivered?
This whole-home renovation reimagined the main floor by opening up the kitchen and adjacent spaces, creating a seamless layout for modern living. Walls were repositioned to accommodate a spacious island as the central hub, complemented by custom cabinetry, a pantry wall, and an appliance garage for maximum organization. A standout feature is the addition of a separate spice kitchen, designed for heavy-duty cooking with high-powered ventilation and extra counter space. The family room was elevated with a sleek porcelain slab fireplace surround and custom built-ins, while hardwood flooring unified the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Structural challenges, such as concealing a dropped beam, were resolved through detailed cabinetry integration. Energy-efficient upgrades, including LED lighting and modern appliances, enhanced sustainability and comfort. The result is a sophisticated, functional home tailored to the homeowners’ lifestyle.
