The primary objective of this project was to completely change and reorganize the space for better storage and workflow. This home had an improperly installed down draft system, causing the smoke detector to go off frequently, there was a lack of natural light on the west side of the kitchen and the view to the BBQ deck and garden was highly obstructed.
The kitchen and family room were gutted, all materials were replaced, and two windows were added to the west wall of the kitchen. Additionally, a double pocket door was installed between the kitchen and the family room, where there had previously only been a doorway.
The kitchen was transformed into a welcoming space where family and friends like to gather, and the cook does not feel like anyone is underfoot. Customizing the cabinetry in terms of sizing and the inclusion of many types of convenience hardware keeps this kitchen organized and clutter free. The new suite of appliances support the family’s cooking and healthy lifestyle, making meal preparation and entertaining a breeze. But most of all, the two new windows provide more natural light and an unobstructed view to the deck and garden.
