Drury DesignThis beautiful kitchen was remodeled for a growing family in the Chicago suburbs. As they were purchasing a new home, they realized there were many drawbacks to the kitchen. It needed to be redesigned to meet their lifestyle and it made sense to do it before moving in.
It was a large kitchen but the functional work space was very small. The work triangle was cumbersome and traffic flowed right through it. The existing kitchen had new red oak floors. They were beautiful, but dark red floors just aren’t practical for a growing family with dogs.
THE REMODEL
The first thing we did was redesign the space and reorient the layout with two islands. Incorporating a built-in banquette, instead of a table, freed up plenty of room for them. The islands are strategically placed in the opposite direction of the previous layout’s single island. This not only creates a better view from the family room, it keeps the traffic flow out of the work area while facilitating two separate workspaces. The small island incorporates a new prep sink. It’s right across from the cooking area, which is a new focal point with a gorgeous new metal hood. The larger island incorporates a Galley Workstation with accessories for efficient prep, expediting and serving. The 4′ sink makes post-meal clean-up a breeze.
The butler’s pantry just outside the kitchen was large enough to create a new beverage center for morning coffee and cocktail prep. An ice maker was added to this area but there wasn’t enough room for a new wine cooler and refrigerator drawers. A separate area using previously unused space was added to the kitchen (by the table) – it includes a new wine cooler and cold beverage drawers. This is framed nicely with some glass door cabinets and a lighted open niche above for decorative display.
STRATEGIC DESIGN
A combination of colors and finishes highlight different focal points in the kitchen – this includes a slate blue, a soft grey and a light whitewashed stain on rift-cut oak. The stained white oak makes the wine cooler and refrigeration areas look more like furniture pieces instead of kitchen cabinets.
The floors were refinished with a very light grey stain that enabled us to lighten up the color and get the red out of the finish.
A new ceiling was designed to add architectural detail to the space – it includes three separate tray areas with new crown molding and lighting.
THE RENEWED SPACE
This stunning new kitchen is the perfect fit for the family and their home – the finishes and design elements flow beautifully into the adjoining spaces. It fulfills all of the family’s dreams for a beautiful and comfortable space that is functional and versatile.
COSWICK LTDApartment with an area of 90 sq. m. is located in the center of Voronezh, in the new residential complex “Solar Olympus”. The main drawback was a very impressive L-shaped and non-functional corridor with a window. By dividing it into several rooms, we gave the space the right shape, organize an entrance hall, a guest toilet and even a laundry room.
There were also interesting solutions in the non-standard junction of the engineering board and porcelain stoneware. The scale and shape of the art object slightly knocked down the correct and verified lines in space, and the idea of the neighborhood of recycled materials with noble ones (in particular, with leather upholstery of coffee tables and silver vintage modernist candlesticks) added irony, while maintaining its elegance.”
The interior is filled with air and light, the pleasant shade of the walls goes to the ceiling, envelops and hugs, helps to relax after a hard day, and color accents cheer up and saturate with energy.

Best Hot Tubs "Hot Tub and Spa Experts"Deck and Patio’s Outdoor Living Expert, Bill Renter, saw the main drawback to this property was how flat the grade was. Through 3-D renditions, he showed the homeowners how different patio levels would make the yard appear bigger. Expert lighting transforms their backyard into a completely different, yet still beautiful, atmosphere at night.
