Kitchen - coastal kitchen idea in Miami

This detached accessory dwelling unit/garage combo was a labor of love by the homeowner to provide a place for family to comfortably live independently. Everyone involved is proud of the workmanship. This project was a part of the Residential Infill Pilot Program. Over 150 yards of dirt/mud was removed. Our mason successfully matched the brick to the main home. The vaulted ceiling and short wall give the living space an open feel. This project is a perfect example of a homeowner working with the government and the trades to achieve a new space that blends in with the neighborhood.

The remodel of this home included changes to almost every interior space as well as some exterior portions of the home. We worked closely with the homeowner to totally transform the home from a dated traditional look to a more contemporary, open design. This involved the removal of interior walls and adding lots of glass to maximize natural light and views to the exterior. The entry door was emphasized to be more visible from the street. The kitchen was completely redesigned with taller cabinets and more neutral tones for a brighter look. The lofted "Club Room" is a major feature of the home, accommodating a billiards table, movie projector and full wet bar. All of the bathrooms in the home were remodeled as well. Updates also included adding a covered lanai, outdoor kitchen, and living area to the back of the home. Photo taken by Alex Andreakos of Design Styles Architecture

This is an extensive kitchen/dining remodel that involved the removal of a wall and moving a large support header to the attic. The customer wanted a custom oak desk that covering the entire wall of their home office to match the new kitchen cabinetry, large pantry, and hutch/china cabinet with glass doors. The kitchen includes pullouts for spices and trash, as well as a cookie-sheet cabinet above the double oven. The island has an under-counter space for a large microwave and a stainless steel and glass vent hood for the cooktop. The floors are tiled with a ceramic hard-wood styled tile that is very resilient to drops and spills. All our cabinetry is custom made with 100% true-wood (no MDF of particle board), full-extension heavy-duty pull-out tracks, and European hidden-hinges.

The design of this bathroom job truly reflects the highest quality standards. We successfully revitalized an outdated primary bathroom into a space that perfectly suits a forever home. The major transformation involved the removal of the built-in tub, which significantly opened up the space. The result is a generously sized, meticulously detailed shower featuring a centralized niche and window, complemented by thoughtfully laid-out tiles to accommodate the shower door. Moreover, the entire primary bath now features heated floors including the shower floor. The creation of the niche was carefully planned, allowing for full tiling up to the bottom and a one-tile-high niche. The framing of the angled wall was skillfully executed, ensuring precise alignment of the tiles and bullnose.

This extreme kitchen renovation involved removing many walls to create the open floorplan concept. The old laundry room was walled in approximately where the custom table sits now. A 12' custom patio door was added in place of a 6' window! Cabinetry was designed to precisely fit in this space using lots of drawer banks using no fillers. Shallow storage was built in to the right of the frig. and a 1200cfm hood vented through the roof was meticulously integrated above the slide in range. The laundry room is now hidden by a custom sliding barn door with soft close hardware. All this was done reusing the existing hardwood floors, patching in with new where required!

great grasscloth install. Installing before the turn in the bullnose is a good transition from paint to wallpaper. All American Wallpapering 800-296-0974

The kitchen renovation at Dewey Street involved removing several walls and accommodating existing services within those walls. Ceiling mounted cabinets provide discrete, but much needed storage for certain items, while the granite counter extends as a ‘coffee bar’ and seating for guests. The finished galley kitchen allows a more open floor plan for the homeowner and visitors to enjoy. Melanie Hartwig-Davis (sustainable architect) of HD Squared Architects, LLC.
