Kitchen - huge transitional kitchen idea in Miami with white cabinets and two islands

Here we can see how the homeowner kept the fireplace as is and uses it as a passable room divider in order to facilitate the given space we had and the new flooring put down. A great Honey Oak 7mm floor cladding goes the distance (literally) and allows for the transition-less flooring to be a feature of this renovation.

One-piece toilets integrate the tank and bowl into a seamless, easy-to-clean design. Elongated bowl offers added room and comfort. 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf). Concealed trapway and Clean Caps™ facilitate easier cleaning and enhanced design. Available at Solutions Bath and Kitchen

This home is designed for a modern, European feel with a large entertainment area and discrete living areas for their young family and extended stay visitors. The program was organized into two bars of accommodation, linked by the kitchen node. Large, movable windows on the interior faces frame selective views of the landscape, while facilitating natural light into all parts of the house and easy movement out.

This laundry room is the full package- providing every feature necessary to facilitate completing the task. The arrangement has the likeness of one's own personal laundromat, which is a huge perk for any homeowner. It is full service with its machine compartments, extremely liberal counter space, overhead cabinets, pull-out wire baskets, and a hanging area over a utility sink.

Custom made transitional cabinetry blends with the rustic elements of this Chicago North Shore kitchen for a beautiful update. The faux finished range hood complements the hanging antique copper pots and pans. Dual sink faucets facilitate prep, cooking and clean-up.

A micro-addition and new layout turns 1980’s cramped kitchen into bright, light-filled collaborative kitchen space. The cramped, isolated kitchen in this 1980’s era home did not fit our clients’ lifestyle nor take advantage of the beautiful views of the nearby pond and woods. They longed for a functional yet fabulous space to support collaborative cooking and family gatherings. A micro-addition facilitated a new layout that both opened to and enlivened their existing living and dining spaces. A bold tri-color palette along with pro-level appliances and impeccable finish detailing gives them everything they desired and more.

Embracing an authentic Craftsman-styled kitchen was one of the primary objectives for these New Jersey clients. They envisioned bending traditional hand-craftsmanship and modern amenities into a chef inspired kitchen. The woodwork in adjacent rooms help to facilitate a vision for this space to create a free-flowing open concept for family and friends to enjoy. This kitchen takes inspiration from nature and its color palette is dominated by neutral and earth tones. Traditionally characterized with strong deep colors, the simplistic cherry cabinetry allows for straight, clean lines throughout the space. A green subway tile backsplash and granite countertops help to tie in additional earth tones and allow for the natural wood to be prominently displayed. The rugged character of the perimeter is seamlessly tied into the center island. Featuring chef inspired appliances, the island incorporates a cherry butchers block to provide additional prep space and seating for family and friends. The free-standing stainless-steel hood helps to transform this Craftsman-style kitchen into a 21st century treasure.

Individual structures surround a lake/swimming pool that is the focal point of the design concept. Fire and water features, and outdoor covered “loggias” link the main residence to guest casitas, facilitating family gatherings while also preserving guests and homeowner’s privacy.

Our clients requested their little girls room be transformed into a whimsical space invoking the sense of shopping of all things. We love an out of the box request. Faux panels of custom murals depicting the windows of a store front along with canopies reminiscent of shop awnings helped to facilitate the vision.

One of the design challenges for this backyard was Toronto’s 50% lot coverage limit. It would have been nice to have had a little more deck beyond the coping at the deep end to facilitate diving. Thankfully, the addition of a row of stepping stones in its place satisfied that need.
