Total Kitchen Transformation
In this comprehensive kitchen makeover, we revitalized the entire space from floor to ceiling, creating a modern and inviting environment that seamlessly blends functionality with aesthetic beauty.
Flooring and Ceiling
We began by installing new tile flooring, providing a resilient and stylish foundation for the kitchen. The ceiling was refreshed to ensure a cohesive and polished look throughout the space.
Painting and Cabinetry
Freshly painted walls harmonize with the new design elements, enhancing the overall ambiance. We installed European-style pale-pine cabinets, adding a touch of sophistication and brightness. Additionally, a new peninsula featuring a waterfall-edge countertop serves as a striking focal point and offers extra workspace.
Countertops and Backsplash
Apollo quartz countertops were installed, offering a sleek and durable surface for all culinary activities. The backsplash was updated to complement the countertops, enhancing the overall aesthetic while ensuring easy maintenance.
Lighting Enhancements
The lighting upgrades are both functional and decorative. Under-cabinet lighting enhances visibility and highlights the new cabinetry and countertops. Elegant pendant lights above the peninsula create a focal point and provide ambient lighting, adding sophistication to the area. New LED recessed lighting in the ceiling ensures the entire space is brightly illuminated, offering energy-efficient, high-quality light for everyday activities.
Plumbing & Electrical
We upgraded the plumbing system, including the installation of a new sink, to ensure optimal performance and reliability. The electrical systems were also updated to support the new lighting and appliances in the kitchen area, ensuring safety and efficiency.
This kitchen transformation showcases a harmonious blend of modern design and practical upgrades, resulting in a space that is both beautiful and highly functional. The thoughtful selection of materials and finishes, combined with quality craftsmanship, has created a kitchen that is sure to be the heart of the home.

Our client purchased what had been a custom home built in 1973 on a high bank waterfront lot. They did their due diligence with respect to the septic system, well and the existing underground fuel tank but little did they know, they had purchased a house that would fit into the Three Little Pigs Story book.
The original idea was to do a thorough cosmetic remodel to bring the home up to date using all high durability/low maintenance materials and provide the homeowners with a flexible floor plan that would allow them to live in the home for as long as they chose to, not how long the home would allow them to stay safely. However, there was one structure element that had to change, the staircase.
The staircase blocked the beautiful water/mountain few from the kitchen and part of the dining room. It also bisected the second-floor master suite creating a maze of small dysfunctional rooms with a very narrow (and unsafe) top stair landing. In the process of redesigning the stairs and reviewing replacement options for the 1972 custom milled one inch thick cupped and cracked cedar siding, it was discovered that the house had no seismic support and that the dining/family room/hot tub room and been a poorly constructed addition and required significant structural reinforcement. It should be noted that it is not uncommon for this home to be subjected to 60-100 mile an hour winds and that the geographic area is in a known earthquake zone.
Once the structural engineering was complete, the redesign of the home became an open pallet. The homeowners top requests included: no additional square footage, accessibility, high durability/low maintenance materials, high performance mechanicals and appliances, water and energy efficient fixtures and equipment and improved lighting incorporated into: two master suites (one upstairs and one downstairs), a healthy kitchen (appliances that preserve fresh food nutrients and materials that minimize bacterial growth), accessible bathing and toileting, functionally designed closets and storage, a multi-purpose laundry room, an exercise room, a functionally designed home office, a catio (second floor balcony on the front of the home), with an exterior that was not just code compliant but beautiful and easy to maintain.
All of this was achieved and more. The finished project speaks for itself.

The Sprint Sofa Set is made of top grain full leather all around. High density foam seating and ultra-plush lumbar support are featured in Sprint. Solid wood frame and ultra-supportive chromed stainless steel legs make Sprint attractive and durable. Adjustable head rests add extra comfort to any living room space.

Patio in Bronco | Key Feature: A Scottsdale new-build rooted in sculptural modernism, Bronco Revival balances bold black-and-white contrast with organic textures, natural wood elements, and statement lighting. As a groundbreaking “Live Lab” designer residence, it’s a first-of-its-kind space where luxury furnishings are tested in real-world conditions before being introduced into high-profile client homes.
Challenge: Because Bronco Revival was the designer’s personal residence, the project carried a unique level of pressure and intention. The challenge was creating a Scottsdale new-build that felt elevated and editorial while still functioning as a true family home. Every selection had to balance bold sculptural modernism (high contrast, statement lighting, architectural furnishings) with durability, comfort, and day-to-day livability. In addition, the home served as a “Live Lab,” meaning new vendors, materials, and luxury furnishings needed to be tested in real-life conditions before being trusted for future high-profile client projects.
Solution: We approached the project with a highly curated, test-and-refine design strategy, treating each space as both a finished interior and a real-world evaluation environment. Key furnishings, textiles, and materials were selected to support the modern organic vision while also standing up to the demands of everyday family life. We worked through selections intentionally, layering in bold contrast, natural woods, and sculptural statement pieces, while prioritizing performance materials, pet-friendly durability, and timeless foundational elements. By using the home as a lived-in showroom, we were able to validate what truly performs beautifully, refine our vendor relationships, and confidently carry those proven selections into future client designs.

Transform Your Space with an Outdoor Kitchen Pergola
Enhance Your Outdoors with Sleek, Custom-Built Designs
One of the most refined and modern design upgrades for any backyard is an outdoor kitchen with pergola. Popular across European courtyards for their elegant canopies, this combination brings both function and style. When planning your layout, consider the space available and how your outdoor kitchen will fit. A thoughtfully designed outdoor kitchen can turn your yard into a high-use area for cooking and entertaining guests.
Our pergolas are custom-built to frame any outdoor kitchen pergola setup, with proper spacing around posts and layout. Be mindful of traffic flow, how close it is to your dining space, and ease of access. Most importantly, decide how you want to cover it. Cantilever or not? With the right design, the space becomes both functional and inviting.
Advanced Features of Our Outdoor Kitchen Pergolas
Unlike standard awnings, our outdoor kitchen pergolas feature advanced louvered roof systems that are fully automated. The frame and moving parts are made from wear-resistant materials, designed to be permanent fixtures that stand up to wind and rain. Each section features a sleek roof profile made from extruded aluminum, offering both modern aesthetics and impressive durability.
Custom Pergolas to Match Any Outdoor Kitchen Design
With over 10 years of experience, Aluminum Pergola goes beyond just installing pergolas for outdoor kitchens. We create complete, luxury outdoor living spaces in several formats:
Wall-Mounted Pergolas: Anchored to a wall, these pergolas rely on just two posts, making them perfect for modern homes and tight spaces.
Traditional Pergolas: Supported on four posts, these are ideal for open areas like backyard kitchens, restaurants, or winery patios.
Cantilever Pergolas: Want shade and privacy for your grill or outdoor kitchen pergola while keeping the ground clear? A cantilever design keeps the roof floating at a custom height with a clean, open base.
Full-Service Design & Installation for Outdoor Kitchen Pergolas
From concept to completion, our team handles everything to make sure your pergola and outdoor kitchen look seamless. Since every project is different, our Canadian-built pergolas are tailored to match your layout and needs. A well-placed pergola can elevate the style and function of your outdoor kitchen while blending with your landscaping and home architecture.
