The kitchen area were opened up and combined, with the access to the adjacent dining area reconfigured. That doorway was created with an arch that is replicated in another area of the home. The finishes and design chosen for the space has sleek and modern cabinets, but integrates warmer touches from reclaimed white oak details which are seen in the custom L shaped banquette and breakfast nook, as well as the island, and the lighting fixture selections. There are classic details peppered into an otherwise modern design. There was major demolition and structural work to achieve the open space, including re-framing the solarium area and redistributing the structural load from a hidden column. The solarium area allows better connection between indoors and outdoors, and has planters that were preserved throughout the project. The cabinets have many storage features, as well as a larger and improved pantry to solve storage issues.
