Designing and building a well done kitchen is a work of art, often defining the personality of a home.  And the personality of a home should mimic that of its inhabitants.

Allow us to share a handful of the notable kitchens we've designed and built over the years.............

A kitchen transformation unrecognizable from its former life!

Challenge: invite in far more natural light and provide additional counter space.
                                                                                                            





                                    Here's the 'before' shot....




















































Solution: look again at the 'before' photo.  Can you tell it's the same home?  Hardly.  The solution provides an uplifting, bright space the homeowners thoroughly enjoy cooking in.

















Aspects we performed: construction only.

Relocate and modernize the entire kitchen

Challenge: our clients' intial request: replace the worn out countertops and cook top.
Solution: after complaining about the overall, non-functional aspects of the kitchen, we proposed relocating the kitchen entirely and our clients now adore their functional and aesthetic kitchen and adjacent sitting room.


















Aspects we performed: design and construction.

Brighten and modernize a classic '70's kitchen

Challenge: this existing, dark brown, aging kitchen needed a lot more natural light and lighter tones.
Solution: the addition of a few skylights and some uplifting colors morphed this space into something nearly unrecognizable from what we started with.

Kitchen remodel and expansion

Challenge: remodel the 1960’s kitchen and the guest bathroom.
Solution: the design involved opening the space between the kitchen and dining room; replacing windows for enjoyment of the landscaping; and updating the guest bathroom to include the laundry facilities, freeing up space for pantry use.







Aspects we performed: design and construction.
