New Scotland Road Renovation

This project was sited in a nineteenth century Victorian home located in Slingerlands, NY. The project consists of a number of elements designed to meet the needs of a busy family of four. The first goal was to connect the kitchen with the family room by removing an existing load-bearing wall. In order to accomplish this we reconfigured the existing kitchen and relocated the first floor powder room originally in the family room. Secondly, we created a new entry into the back of the house as well as a new mudroom and small home office space. Finally, we reconfigured the second floor master bathroom to accommodate a washer and dryer that were originally located on the first floor near the kitchen.

I designed the space with the detailed input of the family members. We managed to consolidate their books, board games, music and art in the custom millwork that surrounding the family room. The client's concern for environmental sustainability is reflected in the reuse of the existing oak kitchen cabinets.

Kitchen

We incorporated a more open design by connecting kitchen and the family room with an island that accommodates two the three seats. We added a honed black granite as well as a stone backslash to complement the dark wood that was reused and reconfigured the kitchen.
