After living in the South riding home for over ten years, they felt cramped in their confined kitchen space. They have been feeling the limitation of current kitchen layout and wanted to explore option to open up to adjacent sunroom
Challenges:
- Taking down a structure wall
- Relocating plumbing and duct chase
- Busting through a space in adjacent garage space
- Conversion to gas cooking and create large size ventilation exhaust
Process:
- Our design staff met with this couple and over several design meeting it was unanimous to open up the space to adjacent sunroom
- Relocating the sink under west side windows
- Implement a large-scale island in middle this kitchen
- Place a 48” gas range and big ass vent a hood over it on the north wall
- Relocate the family room entrance and move the wall back, eliminating a closet
- Now this space allows a 48” built in refrigerator and pantry.
- The double-sided fireplace was revamped with a purpose to belong to new decor
- The right side of the fireplace was designed to turn into a bar space with beverage center, lots of glass cabinetry for their high-end wine and liquor collection.
The main L-shape kitchen with its added space was wrapped in a very unique custom painted denim blue base cabinetry and whitewall cabinets, wood covered hood was covered with same denim blue finish.
The full backsplash quartz with white background and blue veins complimenting the cabinetry. The smart use of venetian gold hardware made this overall design to pop.
The designers introduced a dark gray-brown cherry wood flooring to enhance the blue colors kitchen, which later on home owners loved it so much and covered the rest of their own with it.
Lighting is everything, the clever use of Led stripes lights, recess lights and pendent lights have all contributed to make this kitchen remodel a marvelous living kitchen they get to enjoy daily activities around it.
The old pantry was reframed and redesigned to allow more storage, the new added space from the garage create a Puja room (praying room) and a much-needed coat closet.
