This home started with a small, sectioned-off galley kitchen: beautiful in its time, but not built for this family’s vision of open entertaining and kids running in and out to the backyard.
After walking through numerous floor plan options and detailed renderings together, we landed on a bold solution: removing a structural wall and relocating the kitchen entirely into what was once the dining room.
It was no small undertaking.
✔ Structural modifications
✔ Completely new trade paths
✔ Reimagining the entire first-floor flow
But the result? A dream layout designed around how this family truly lives.
Now the heart of the home features:
✨ A spacious kitchen with an oversized island (seating for 4)
✨ A stunning mitered waterfall edge
✨ Scalloped tile backsplash wrapping the perimeter and windows
✨ A pot filler and all new appliances
✨ Built-in banquette seating (with a dedicated homework spot!)
✨ Added storage and a relocated laundry space where the old kitchen once stood
