2021 REGIONAL COTY WINNER FOR REGION 2 SOUTHEAST FOR RESIDENTIAL KITCHEN $100,001 TO $150,000
This young family recentlypurchased a single-family home that was backed into a golfcourse in the Sterling suburb area of Virginia.
They were not loving the separation between the old kitchen and family room. The two rooms were separatedby a massive bearing wall, which made it challengingto combine the two spaces. In order to place a large-scale Island and have enough space to get around it, thewall had to go. The refrigerator and tall elements were to be relocated on a north wall covered with closet and soil stack pipes, duct chase, and more.
We have introduced anall new lay-out that they fell in love with and couldn’t wait to get started.
This new design eliminated the one-sidewindow and enlarged the west wall of this kitchen to allow a featured wall: large-scalegas stove,acustom-made wood hood above it, and afull granite backsplashthat coveredup the entire feature wall.
The north wall was home to abig size professional refrigerator and freezer, built-in coffee maker, microwave,and lots of pantry and storage space.
The big island took over the center of kitchen, which is nowhome to the farm sink, dishwasher,and lots other amenities. There’s also lotsof room for guests to sit and gather.
The bearing wall was taken out and two steel beams were installedto carry the second-floor load,eliminating support posts.
The new wood floor was tongued and grooved to the old floor, and theentire space was refinished to anew stain color,complimenting the new island cabinet finishes.
The closet in thefamily room was converted into awet bar area with abeverage center and display glass cabinets, allunder a beautiful custom-designed backsplash tile that made it such an enjoyable space to stare at. The high-end appliances and unique ofcontrast between the stone top and cabinetry finishes made this kitchen an award-winning project.
Now, more than ever,the homeownerslove to entertain and show off theirnew kitchen to friends and neighbors.
