Scope of Work

Kitchen Remodel
Bathroom Remodel

Available space was not the issue in this project, rather a poor design done by a previous owner. The kitchen housed a massive island and an L-shaped cabinetry on the wall. Our clients wanted to keep the size of the island, add a double wall oven, a wood hood, a pantry, and stacked wall cabinets with crown molding, and increase the height of all the base cabinets to 39 ½”.

To better purpose the space within the home, We decided to repurpose a useless hallway as a walk-in pantry with lots of shelving. This was also a major improvement for traffic flow within the kitchen space. We also removed a wall making it the walkway to the garage door. We relocated the refrigerator and set it next to their new coffee station. We added a large Cafe gas range and put the oak wood hood above it, making this the kitchen’s focal point.

Design Details & Challenges

Increased cabinet height
Wall relocation load-bearing wall preservation
Bathroom angle constraints

Increasing the height of the cabinets in the kitchen brought about some non-standard situations and challenges. At the stove and dishwasher locations, special trim details were built on the floor to lift these appliances to a height that matched the countertop. This also raised the level of all of our backsplash outlets which we had to plan for from the very beginning of the project.

The bathroom was plenty large when it came to square footage but the shape made for a very awkward design and the resulting design was a product of many hours of creative thinking. Our clients wanted a wide shower. To achieve the wow factor space at the size our clients requested, we pulled the shower glass out into the center of the room, creating a small glass wall. This gave the clients the desired shower width without making the bathroom feel closed off. The other challenge was having the tub and shower in the same space at the same level and still having the shower water flow to the drain. We created a small slope between the tub and shower to make this possible. At first glance, you can’t tell there is even a slope!
