This home plan was one of our former plans that we reworked to fit the needs of the client. Billy, the Designer, Clients, and Architect worked on both the interior as well as exterior layout of the home until the design was exactly as the homeowners envisioned. The home had a few changes that had to be made once under construction so that it met the expectations of all involved in its desired layout. Philip Slowiak Photography

This project involved a vast remodel of poorly executed alterations to a smaller kitchen, butler's pantry and laundry areas housed within a historic 1929 residence. Our new design provides an open updated version of a period appropriate kitchen. Details such as arching exterior doors and new windows with matching cremone bolts were added. All cabinetry is our custom design and was fabricated with extensive marquetry, hand carving and special aging to the wood. The highly figured soapstone counters and decorative tiles were hand selected. Furnishings are both antique and new made to order pieces.

This extreme kitchen renovation involved removing many walls to create the open floorplan concept. The old laundry room was walled in approximately where the custom table sits now. A 12' custom patio door was added in place of a 6' window! Cabinetry was designed to precisely fit in this space using lots of drawer banks using no fillers. Shallow storage was built in to the right of the frig. and a 1200cfm hood vented through the roof was meticulously integrated above the slide in range. The laundry room is now hidden by a custom sliding barn door with soft close hardware. All this was done reusing the existing hardwood floors, patching in with new where required!
