The existing space was extensively remodeled. On the first floor, the kitchen was greatly expanded, a sitting room added, part of an existing porch was incorporated into the house as a lakeside dining area, and a large side entry with sinks both inside and out was added. The existing detached garage was demolished, and a new tuck-under garage has been incorporated.

We designed a kitchen appropriately scaled to our client's various needs, all of it beautifully encapsulated within period-style cabinetry, glass, and finishes. Within this large kitchen is a work space designed for one, with the cook top, ovens, sink, and refrigerator close at hand. Beyond this central hub are multiple prep areas that can accommodate many people working simultaneously. The octagonal serving table at the end of the room affords seating outside the cooking vicinity. The oversized island, complete with integrated refrigeration, provides ample storage for everything at-hand. Baking occurs around the corner in the pantry area where dry ingredients are stored.

The kitchen is situated to be equally accessible for a range of dining options, from the cozy breakfast room overlooking the garden that captures the morning light, to the romantic lakeside dining area with a view of the sunset over the lake, to the formal dining room.
