A home office off the kitchen can be concealed with a pocket door. Gray-painted maple Wood-Mode cabinetry complements the kitchen finishes but makes the space unique.
**Project Overview**
A small, quiet, efficient office space for one that is perfect for sorting mail and paying bills. Though small it has a great deal of natural light and views out the front of the house of the lush landscaping and wildlife. A pocket door makes the office disappear when it's time to entertain.
**What Makes This Project Unique?**
Small yet incredibly functional, this desk space is a comfortable, quiet place to catch up on home management tasks. Filled with natural light and offering a view of lush landscaping, the compact space is light and airy. To keep it from feeling cramped or crowded, we complemented warm gray-painted maple cabinetry with light countertops and tile. Taller ceilings allow ample storage, including full-height open storage, to manage all of the papers, files and extras that find their way into the home.
**Design Challenges**
While the office was intentionally designed into a tiny nook off the kitchen and pantry, we didn't want it to feel small for the people using it. By keeping the color palette light, taking cabinetry to the ceiling, incorporating open storage and maximizing natural light, the space feels cozy, and larger than it actually is.

Clients wanted to keep a powder room on the first floor and desired to relocate it away from kitchen and update the look. We needed to minimize the powder room footprint and tuck it into a service area instead of an open public area.
We minimize the footprint and tucked the PR across from the basement stair which created a small ancillary room and buffer between the adjacent rooms. We used a small wall hung basin to make the small room feel larger by exposing more of the floor footprint. Wainscot paneling was installed to create balance, scale and contrasting finishes.
The new powder room exudes simple elegance from the polished nickel hardware, rich contrast and delicate accent lighting. The space is comfortable in scale and leaves you with a sense of eloquence.

Client Objectives
The homeowner wanted to improve the functionality of an existing galley kitchen that felt cramped and inefficient. The refrigerator occupied valuable circulation space, limiting movement and workflow while cooking. Additional goals included increasing storage, incorporating a dedicated coffee station, maximizing organization, and creating a more efficient layout without sacrificing the character of the home.
Our Solution
We developed a kitchen redesign focused on improving circulation, storage, and usability. By relocating the refrigerator and exploring custom built-in solutions, the layout creates a more open and functional workspace. Dedicated storage features like, open shelving and more cabinetry, help keep countertops clutter-free while supporting the homeowner’s daily routines.
Special Features
Relocated refrigerator for improved traffic flow, coffee bar area, expanded storage solutions, drawer-focused cabinetry, updated cabinetry, and improved organization throughout the kitchen.
