The SATO1 project was a 1000 square foot condo remodel. The focus of the project was on small home space planning. Designer Bethany Pearce / Van Hecke was challenged with creating solutions for a home office, baby's room as well as improved flow in dining/kitchen and living room. Designed by Bethany Pearce / Van Hecke of Capstone Dwellings Design-Build Carpentry by Greg of AusCan Fine Carpentry on Vancouver Island.

For this Leslieville basement renovation, Carter Fox was given a big wish list. In order to fit an office, laundry, bathroom with large shower and a spacious entertainment room, we had to steal every available inch. In order to make this happen, we relocated the furnace and engineered a new opening, improving the layout and creating a more natural flow. Being an older (100+ years) house, we upgraded all the plumbing and installed a whole new energy-efficient HVAC system.

Our client from Little Falls, New Jersey was planning to remodel their kitchen from the early 2000s for quite some time. Earthy, dark granite countertops and dark wood cabinets created an ambiance that was warm and suitable for a family but looked outdated. Our client was looking not only to simply refresh its look but gut out the old cabinets along with countertops, replace them with new ones, and improve the working flow in the kitchen. Time flies by, kids grow up, routines and habits change, and a functional family kitchen needs to follow all this and fulfill both the practical and aesthetic needs of the homeowners. This new and improved white kitchen in Little Falls, New Jersey does just that, and we’re happy we were a part of the process.

Keeping within the same blueprint, the kitchen was completely remodeled to allow for a better flow of the kitchen, clean lines and more lighting. The kitchen includes Kraftmaid Grandview Full Overlay Cabinets in a Canvas Finish with Typhoon Bordeaux Granite Top. The cabinet knobs and pulls are from Liberty Mila in Satin Nickel. The sink faucet is a Delta Essa Single Handle Pull Down kitchen faucet in Artic Stainless and an Elkay Crosstown stainless steel undermount rectangular sink. The stainless steel appliances are GE Profile. Recessed ceiling lights, under the cabinet and inside cabinet lighting (Kichler) and Hinkley LED Pendant Lights over the island gives lots of lighting. All the Hardwood is Red Oak

This colonial home renovation reimagines the original character of the house by adding a light-filled entry gallery overlooking the covered front porch. The revised circulation plan opens up the interior to frame views and improve the flow between spaces while maintaining the traditionally defined rooms throughout. New large-paned casement windows replace the modest double-hung units to enhance the scale of the exterior facade and streamline the architectural detailing. The arrival sequence is improved by relocating a brick-lined driveway southward to extend the lawn and allow boxwood clouds set in ground cover to frame new bluestone walks. Overlooking the idyllic golf course beyond, the new rear garden and bluestone terrace better defines the yard and provides a generous outdoor living space.

Our homeowners wanted to improve their kitchen layout at their lake house and wanted an open, functional flow with increased storage, lighting and trending styles. We removed a non-bearing wall between kitchen and great room and created an area for a large island. These changes brought in their thirst for abundant, natural light and solved the bottleneck that occurred in the old space when the refrigerator was in use. The new layout provides ample storage space and open stations for friends and family to gather while entertaining. Updating the kitchen and living space enhances the function of the home.We converted existing outdated materials to be more attractive and functional: lighting, cabinetry, flooring, and tiled surfaces. We found ways to provide innovative materials for our homeowners’ selections by maintaining the use of the existing knotty pine beams, ceiling and posts and working with the existing ‘cottage feel’ while updating fixtures, finishes and flow through the space. Warm design elements are evident through use of copper accents like the hood, faucets, sink and cabinet pulls.

Adding a tall pantry with pull out shelves to the kitchen takes care the food storage. We also add 15 linear feet of base storage space under banquette seating. 3. Designating food storage in pantry clear out plenty of countertop space for food prep. 4. No more grout line on countertop.

The small peninsula in existing kitchen interrupts the flow and make kitchen feel smaller. It’s an item being removed. 7. Mini beverage fridge adds value to the kitchen for sure. Now, all drinks have a new home!

One of the most obvious changes was the removal of the peninsula, which was replaced with a beautiful new island. This design choice not only opened up the kitchen and improved traffic flow, but also provided for a cooktop to be incorporated into the island, freeing up some counter space where the stove used to be and allowing for additional cabinets.

Inside this 1970s vintage residence in Tiburon, we opened up a new media room in the middle of the house, improved the flow, simplified and brightened the materials, and changed an old gas-burning fireplace to an efficient Ortal corner fireplace.
