Planning a kitchen renovation

Whatever your kitchen is to you, you deserve to have it be a special place that fits your needs both functionally and aesthetically. Below are five kitchens to inspire your own home kitchen renovation. For each, we listened to the individual client’s needs and dreams and designed a space to encapsulate the conversations. The results are broad, as each client has different needs and ideas. It is always wonderful to see designs go from ideas to paper (or computer) to a built-environment where memories are made.

1. Eat in Kitchen 

 

Harrisonburg Park House

The kitchen at Harrisonburg Park House is designed to fit within a small home footprint, utilizing the space by using an open floorplan. The connection between the kitchen, living room, and dining room allows family and friends to be together while watching TV or making meals. The client’s personality shines through patterns and colors that pop in the space, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

4. Views for Days Kitchen

The kitchen of Casa Cielo speaks for itself. The gorgeous wood was a detail that was important to our clients as well as being connected to nature. The wide windows on one side draw your eye and create a synthesis between the interior home and the landscape. Although windows in a kitchen can take up precious cabinet space, creative solutions like designing large cabinet sections on the other walls leave ample storage space.
