Happy and Cheerful Orange Kitchen:

Our perception of the world around us changes constantly as we are exposed to new information and develop new visual and spatial preferences.  This causes us to outgrow our living spaces and yearn for environments that reflect our newfound outlook.  Such was the case for this kitchen renovation project.  

Our client felt disorganized and disconnected in her kitchen.  She loves to cook but the layout of her kitchen did not allow her to move around comfortably.  The space felt outdated and cluttered.  She wished for a genuine connection to the outdoors.  To accomplish all this we expanded the space and designed custom glass doors that blurred the boundary between indoor and outdoor.  Our landscape designers created an outdoor space surrounded by little leaf linden trees which form an intimate sitting area in the back yard without obstructing the view from the kitchen.  

We incorporated the suspended ceiling over the island to make the space feel simultaneously spacious and intimate.  We traded the traditional cabinetry for refined European style contemporary cabinets in two colors; glossy white and soft wenge brown for its unique mixture of chic yet natural.  We used two colors of sustainable quartz countertops; earth brown in the perimeter and orange for the island to bring a feeling of cheerfulness.  We transformed the hallway into a pantry area with floor to ceiling custom designed storage cabinets.  We selected comfortable yet elegant crescent stools.  We added heated tile floors in a beautiful geometric design so our client would be comfortable enough to walk around barefoot.  

We custom designed an ethanol fireplace with milky white glass tiles so the kitchen would be warm and cozy but not lose any of its elegant sophistication.  We also designed and built a very unique powder room with a beautiful red vessel embedded into the countertop, a double flush compact wall toilet, custom mosaic tiles and translucent back lit corean panels.  Visually stimulating and technologically advanced, the new kitchen is a sincere expression of our client’s individuality, love of cooking and enjoyment of intimate times with family and friends.
