Eat-in kitchen - mid-sized transitional l-shaped porcelain tile eat-in kitchen idea in Birmingham with a single-bowl sink, shaker cabinets, gray cabinets, granite countertops, brown backsplash, ceramic backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

This project combines two existing studio apartments into a compact 800 sqft. live/work space for a young professional couple in the heart of Chelsea, New York. The design required some creative space planning to meet the Owner’s requested program for an open plan solution with a private master bedroom suite and separate study that also allowed for entertaining small parties, including the ability to provide a sleeping space for guests. The solution was to identify areas of overlap within the program that could be addressed with dual-function custom millwork pieces. A bar-stool counter at the open kitchen folds out to become a bench and dining table for formal entertaining. A custom desk folds down with a murphy bed to convert a private study into a guest bedroom area. A series of pocket door connecting the spaces provide both privacy to the master bedroom area when closed, and the option for a completely open layout when opened. A carefully selected material palette brings a warm, tranquil feel to the space. Reclaimed teak floors run seamlessly through the main spaces to accentuate the open layout. Warm gray lacquered millwork, Centaurus granite slabs, and custom oxidized stainless steel details, give an elegant counterpoint to the natural teak floors. The master bedroom suite and study feature custom Afromosia millwork. The bathrooms are finished with cool toned ceramic tile, custom Afromosia vanities, and minimalist chrome fixtures. Custom LED lighting provides dynamic, energy efficient illumination throughout. Photography: Mikiko Kikuyama

Plan Architecture So this is one of those interior projects you see on TV where it starts with "I have this small duplex that I want to feel larger." After getting over the initial,HOW ON EARTH ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS?!?, we came up with a really open feeling loft-like flat. We were able to identify the load bearing walls and chimney location early in the process by measuring the entire home from the basement up to the Attic. We made the early decision to expose and clean the brick chimney making it the decorative focal point of the first floor renovation. We also updated the bathroom - check out the before and after photos.

Design and construction of kitchen and dining room addition with family room and fireplace. At our first meeting, Mark and Regina were working with an Architectural firm that was pressuring them to move ahead with a design that they felt did not meet their needs. It was a difficult and challenging problem to marry their family’s needs and budget to the quirky Architecture of their side set, Dutch Colonial home. We were able to identify the more subtle issues and developed a design that includes a new family entrance with Dutch door, mudroom, powder room, kitchen with soapstone counters, family room with fireplace and an open inviting family eating nook with large windows and a raised ceiling.

The unit’s low ceiling presented the main design challenge. At the highest point, the ceiling is less than eight feet. In order to turn the limitation into an advantage, the ceiling became a major feature of the project. The original popcorn ceiling was entirely stripped to expose the original concrete formwork. The design-build team added a clear finish coat to give it a reflective sheen. The glossy concrete surface extends through the entire condominium from the master suite to the living room, tying the large unit together and giving it a sense of space. The concrete has remarkable character, revealing the original process of construction. One can identify the joints in the formwork and the variations in the concrete mix.

We specialize in creating custom designed and functional kitchens. Cabinets and built-in furniture require precise engineering, space planning, and an aesthetic eye for balance and symmetry. We have mastered these skills and invite you to examine our work. Many families spend more waking hours in the kitchen than any other room in the home, so it needs to be both attractive and functional. The challenge of designing a kitchen is identifying what each homeowner wants in terms of functionality, placing appliances and prep areas where they can be intuitively found, and keeping the space neat and attractive. All of these things can be achieved with good design. As our client, you will be guided through the world of interior options, floor and counter materials, hood designs and many other important details that will define your new kitchen. Working with design professionals who have specialized in this field, we can assure you that your kitchen will be an ideal expression of your needs and lifestyle.
