BEFORE-AND-AFTER KITCHEN TRANSFORMATION: ‘OPEN SESAME’
Having built this home over 20 years ago, our homeowners now wanted to update the main living spaces to appeal to their new and modern way of living. The seldom used formal dining room and living room were wasting space. The view to the gorgeous and private back yard, which they had grown to love, was not maximized. Modern technology was not as integrated into their lives as it is now. They built the home while they were just starting their family of four, and now their two sons are grown up and off to college! It was time for their house to catch up to their changes.
Some of the objectives for this project included:
- Open up the small bump out U-shaped kitchen surrounded by walls, and integrate the unused formal dining room and living room to create an open plan space with new functions
- Create a cozy lap-top, reading and coffee space with views to the outside
- Add as many windows to the back wall as possible to maximize the view to nature and the private backyard
- Create a casual eating space for four, connected to the kitchen with a view of a TV
- Open up the kitchen to the new, less formal dining space
- Update their current family room, laundry room and powder room to create flow for the new first level
Keeping these objectives in mind while addressing several design challenges, our team designed a layout that opened up the space and complimented the homeowners new phase of life. Special features such as warm, rich woods, combined with quartz counters, travertine flooring, handmade ceramic tile, unique lighting and heated floors in the kitchen & cozy coffee nook to provide warmth add both comfort and interest to the space. The result is an amazing transformation in both function and aesthetics.
