Eat-in kitchen - mid-sized modern galley dark wood floor eat-in kitchen idea in Portland with an undermount sink, shaker cabinets, gray cabinets, concrete countertops, white backsplash, ceramic backsplash, stainless steel appliances and no island

Mid-Century Remodel on Tabor Hill This sensitively sited house was designed by Robert Coolidge, a renowned architect and grandson of President Calvin Coolidge. The house features a symmetrical gable roof and beautiful floor to ceiling glass facing due south, smartly oriented for passive solar heating. Situated on a steep lot, the house is primarily a single story that steps down to a family room. This lower level opens to a New England exterior. Our goals for this project were to maintain the integrity of the original design while creating more modern spaces. Our design team worked to envision what Coolidge himself might have designed if he'd had access to modern materials and fixtures. With the aim of creating a signature space that ties together the living, dining, and kitchen areas, we designed a variation on the 1950's "floating kitchen." In this inviting assembly, the kitchen is located away from exterior walls, which allows views from the floor-to-ceiling glass to remain uninterrupted by cabinetry. We updated rooms throughout the house; installing modern features that pay homage to the fine, sleek lines of the original design. Finally, we opened the family room to a terrace featuring a fire pit. Since a hallmark of our design is the diminishment of the hard line between interior and exterior, we were especially pleased for the opportunity to update this classic work.

The Cicero is a modern styled home for today’s contemporary lifestyle. It features sweeping facades with deep overhangs, tall windows, and grand outdoor patio. The contemporary lifestyle is reinforced through a visually connected array of communal spaces. The kitchen features a symmetrical plan with large island and is connected to the dining room through a wide opening flanked by custom cabinetry. Adjacent to the kitchen, the living and sitting rooms are connected to one another by a see-through fireplace. The communal nature of this plan is reinforced downstairs with a lavish wet-bar and roomy living space, perfect for entertaining guests. Lastly, with vaulted ceilings and grand vistas, the master suite serves as a cozy retreat from today’s busy lifestyle. Photographer: Brad Gillette

A big challenge our customers face is covering the sidelights on either side of their front door. Whether it be for privacy or to protect furniture and floors, dressing a side light can be a challenge. Clients want something operable that looks finished. It’s not easy to find a solution that doesn’t look like something just dangling from the wall and blowing around every time the door gets opened. This is the first impression most guests have of your home, after all. One of our favorite solutions to addressing sidelight with shutters. Specifically, we offer a unique application to cover sidelights that don’t allow much width as a mounting surface. Batten back shutters reduce the need for the bulky frame and allow a mount with as little as ¾” width!! This results in a wider louver in relation to the frame; and we want as much width as we can get. This way we have nice, grand shutter louvers, not a bulky frame blocking the widow.
