Tatami + Gold
THE PROBLEM
Our clients and new homeowners fell head over heels for their new community, neighborhood and new space. But despite checking so many boxes, their amazing new home did not have a first floor layout that met their needs. Through a referral from their trusted realtor, they came to us with a list of "issues" and we reframed those problems with numerous layout solutions. Ultimately, we landed on a final floor plan that checked all the boxes from functionality to flow and, of course, budget.
THE SOLUTION
The selected design required an extensive gut and reconfiguration of the main living area on the first floor. By relocating the powder room and pushing a wall back, we not only got the bathroom out the the kitchen, we also created more width for a large U-shaped layout with oversized and eat-in area.
To create more sight lines into their living room we fully pulled back the cased opening and raised the floors in the sunken living room to match the height of the adjacent rooms.
Lastly we removed the shared wall between the living room and an office. By doing this we were able to reclaim valuable space and repurpose for the new location of their luxurious powder room and an ample coat closet that serves as a proper entry for all of their future guests.
To tie every room into each other nicely, all floors were refinished to their natural state and three coats of high-traffic water-based poly was applied for long-term durability.
