An Elegantly Detailed
Transformation
This 1990s Colonial-style home was
originally built with an inconvenient
galley kitchen that meant the homeowners regularly had to convey food
between it and the entertainment
areas. They contacted us with the goal
of making the kitchen the primary hub
of the residence. First, we created a
more fluid relationship between the
kitchen and the front of the house by
relocating the hall closet and widening
the archway between the foyer and the
back of the house to create an open
view of the kitchen. In the kitchen, we
rerouted bulkheads to make way for
tall cabinets trimmed in crown molding. Other finish details, including
cherry-wood cabinet facings, stainlesssteel appliances and textured marble
backsplash, present a warmly textured,
yet visually neutral surface.
PROJECT FEATURES:
• Skillfully engineered, coffered ceilings include cove, recessed and decorative down
lighting. • A custom island with a lowered granite dining counter accommodates up to
five seats. • The kitchen boasts two microwave ovens, two refrigerators,
a convection steam oven and a gas range.
