A Fun and Functional New Kitchen

Inspiring creative & custom designs with an exceptional building experience

A Fun and Functional New Kitchen

This remodel transformed a once-cramped and dated kitchen into a bright, functional, and highly personalized space that perfectly fits the homeowners’ lifestyle. By reconfiguring the mudroom, laundry, and storage areas, the design team created smart solutions for organization and flow while adding architectural charm with custom details like a French barn door. The kitchen was further enhanced for entertaining, with thoughtful updates including a relocated sink, a pass-through window to the deck, and expanded storage for modern appliances.

Smart Layout & Storage Solutions

Adjacent to the kitchen, a mudroom, laundry room, and awkward hallway with two small storage closets were redesigned. The washer and dryer were moved from the mudroom into a separate laundry room, creating space for cabinetry that enhances storage of the homeowners’ shoes, coats, and sports equipment. Their cramped hallway and small storage closets were removed and transformed into one large storage area and separate laundry room away from the flow of foot traffic. A French-opening barn door was installed with exposed wrought-iron rolling hardware to conceal the laundry room from the kitchen, adding an architectural element that complements their woodsy, cabin-like home.

Entertaining Made Easy

As avid entertainers, the homeowners often use their large back deck, adjacent to the kitchen, for gatherings and parties. To enhance access while using their outdoor smoker, barbecue grill, and Green Egg, a few additional enhancements were added to the kitchen design. The kitchen sink was relocated to the exterior wall, and a sliding pass-through window was installed behind it. To increase natural light while maintaining privacy, a low horizontal window with narrow-reed glass was added atop the countertop backsplash. With the removal of a side window to make space for the larger refrigerator, this creative solution allows for both light and privacy.
