As an avid cook, this homeowner wanted to upgrade the existing apartment-sized appliances and improve the functionality of cabinets and the countertop space to support his chef skills and daily use. We readdressed the kitchen back wall, updating the range and sink and refreshing the overall aesthetic. A stunning black Ann Saks accent tile provides a dramatic focal point and complements the sophisticated waterfall edge island countertop. We installed a microwave drawer and additional storage in the island without disrupting the prominent stone edge detail. Other changes included the integration of a reverse osmosis water system and transitioning from an induction to a gas heat source.

To open up the space and improve functionality, the wall separating the kitchen from the dining room was removed, creating a seamless, open-concept layout that now brings everything together in one cohesive space. A new, functional island was added to serve as the heart of the kitchen, providing additional prep space and much-needed storage.

This kitchen renovation began with the clients questioning whether an addition was needed to meet their wishlist. By carefully rethinking the layout, the design team showed that everything could be accomplished within the existing footprint, maximizing function, storage, and flow while keeping the home’s balance intact. Small but strategic moves, like borrowing a touch of space from the laundry room and resizing a dining room window, opened the door to a larger island, improved circulation, and better placement for the range and sink. The result is a kitchen that feels expansive and beautifully composed. Thoughtful adjustments to the structure created just enough breathing room for a layout that now supports daily life. A natural marble braided mosaic backsplash, soft and organic in texture, carries gracefully to the ceiling as a focal point, complemented by classic subway tile on adjacent wall. Every detail was executed with craftsmanship in mind, from the refined cabinetry to the layered finishes that give the space its timeless character. Blending problem-solving with design, this kitchen delivers everything the homeowners envisioned, a bright, functional centerpiece that enhances both everyday living and special occasions alike.

The owners of this Maplewood kitchen were looking for more functional cabinetry space, and wanted to get rid of the dated wallpaper and soffits. They desired a neutral look. Removing the few small interior walls in the kitchen really opened things up and allowed us to incorporate a pantry, a cabinet for coat/shoe/mail storage, and a coffee station. We also changed the spacing at the range/ref. wall to incorporate a lazy susan and upper corner cabinet with hinged doors for improved access. Rather than doors under the sink, drawers were created. The clients chose a beautiful granite countertop and more modern linen textured tile backsplash. We also tied the dining room and living room in to the new kitchen remodel by replacing all the flooring, repairing/retexturing the ceilings, painting the rooms, and replacing the living room railing.

The focus of this home remodeling project was to make a Skyline home more comfortable and functional for a large family of six. Designed by Circulation Architecture and built by Hammer & Hand, this project included a kitchen remodel, new custom-built dog house, and updates to the home’s HVAC systems. The team transformed the dark, earth-toned kitchen into a bright, light-filled space for the family to spend time in. New tile, countertops, and paint gave the kitchen a new look while built-ins and adjustments to the area around the stove range added more functionality. H&H also replaced the 20-year-old heating and cooling systems throughout the large home and added an HRV to improve the ventilation and neutralize the house. Photos by Jeff Amram Photography.

This kitchen renovation in Bel Air, Maryland transformed a dark, closed-off space into a bright, functional open-concept kitchen connected to the adjacent living area. By expanding the existing pass-through, the layout now allows for improved natural light, better flow, and stronger visual connection between spaces. The design features custom inset cabinetry, combining painted perimeter cabinets with dark-stained white oak cabinetry at the peninsula. A color-drenched pantry with a custom library ladder adds storage and visual interest. The kitchen is anchored by a La Cornue CornuFé 90 range in black with polished brass accents, creating a striking focal point. Additional elements include open wall shelving, glass-front cabinetry with integrated interior lighting, panel-ready appliances, and layered kitchen lighting to support both function and ambiance. The result is a refined, welcoming kitchen designed for everyday living and entertaining.
