This suburban home was first built in the 60’s by the original owner who was an architect. As a result, the interior features a very unique style that features an open floor plan and exposed heavy timber beams. The original kitchen, however, was rather small and enclosed by two walls.

We opened up the kitchen by integrating it into the rest of the open floor plan home. The extension of the kitchen allowed for us to install a large island with storage on both sides as well as another section of pull-out cabinets along the stairwell. Finally, with the new layout, we decided to go with a modern approach which complements and accentuates the style of the original architecture.
