Remodel, Kitchen
Creating an open living space great for entertaining gave us an opportunity to return this Rockridge home to its Mid-Century roots. First: Out with the over-the-top marble entry floor and decorative handrails! Reconfiguring the entry stairs, building new closet doors and creating a clear path through the newly open-plan living room, dining room and kitchen allowed views from all rooms to the outdoors. Our client loves gardening; we widened windows and added an eat-in peninsula so she can look out on her big, beautiful backyard. Her husband loves roasting coffee and mixing specialty cocktails. For him, we created a mini cocktail bar with its own dedicated sink. Even the laundry area has become part of the common space, welcoming and calm with sea-blue tiles chosen by our client, who brought a designer’s eye to colors and finishes throughout the renovation. There’s only one spot in the renovated space that remains small, dark and mysterious: a private bathroom for the family cat.
