Walczak Design And BuildTHE PROBLEM
Our clients fell in love with the this home and its beautiful, secluded surroundings the first time they saw it. Over time however, the split living space on the main floor proved to be not as functional as they wanted it to be for their family nor did it provide a great connection to the outdoor space that they loved so much.
THE SOLUTION
The solution, while clear, was not simple. To remove the main load bearing wall shared by these two rooms took a considerable amount of framing and the introduction of new structural components to merge two unique rooflines.
The removal of the wall created an eat-in kitchen with a wall of windows and an open concept living area. One of the main features and highlights of this space is a uniquely designed banquette that is a custom built-in extension of the island offering both seating at the island as well as a place for an actual dining table.
The new layout also offered ample spacing for cooking, plenty of preparation space as well as a coffee and tea area for the family's assortment of favorite beverages. Custom cabinetry adorns the walls alongside a neutral and class backsplash, new white oak floors, updated entryway and hallway pantry closet.
SKP DesignThe scope of this project was to remodel the entire first floor of the home. The goals were to create more functional space in the kitchen and family room area and open up views between the living room and foyer. The kitchen was completely redone to change from a U-shape work area to an L-shape with an island. The homeowner also requested a mudroom space. A center island was designed for dining and storage. The geologist homeowner selected a unique granite slab for the island focal point of the room. Quartz surfaces were used for perimeter counters and white subway tile was selected for the backsplash and stove area. New wood floors were installed throughout the first floor. Accent lighting completes the island area.

Thomas J. Pearson, Inc.The owners of this home sought to modernize and open the entire first floor, enabling an open kitchen and family room concept. With this first floor remodel, we created a contemporary space by removing all of the interior walls, reinforcing the roof structure and raising the ceiling height four feet. This remodel involved sleek custom black walnut cabinets, radius walls with niches in the entryway and a three-sided contemporary gas fireplace.
