This kitchen renovation and deck addition is part of a series of house-wide transformations. The efficient galley configuration was essentially built-in to the home's layout. We captured additional floor area for recessing the refrigerator out over the basement stair, which had ample head height.

The kitchen combines durable materials with a vibrant color palette, including linoleum over radiant floor heat, stainless steel and engineered stone counter tops, stained maple cabinets and doors, porcelain tiles and an aluminum deck that perches over the back yard and surrounding hillside.
