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.

Light and airy, these homeowners desired to bring a feel of the Mediterranean to their Texas kitchen. The inspiration was a fusion of various design elements from the countries that surround the Mediterranean Sea, including Spain, Italy, Greece, and Morocco, driving Designer Amber Paulk to use Wood-Mode’s Vanguard MDF and Vista Laminate door styles with a White Halifax Oak High Pressure Laminate for the cabinetry, giving the look and feel of olive wood. Not wanting to detract from the cabinetry’s natural beauty, hardware with clear handles were selected. The open plan design of the space means the homeowners can comfortably entertain guests while they prepare in the kitchen. Wanting as much storage as possible, the large island houses the microwave, dishwasher and many other appliances and entertaining musts like refrigeration drawers with custom cabinet panels and organizational details like Birch cutlery dividers. A statement chandelier was installed above, finishing off the design.

The interior of this single family residential home was in need of a remodel. The space was enhanced aesthetically, re-worked for better functionality, and opened up for more natural light and space. The Key areas of focus were the kitchen, master bathroom, and master walk in closet. These areas were most changed architecturally. The spaces we reconfigured to make them more user friendly, adding storage and better foot traffic paths. A wall was removed that divided the kitchen and the living space providing better lighting and an open concept peninsula. The kitchen layout was also re-worked moving the refrigerator, stove, and sink to provide a better configuration for cooking and entertaining. The rest of the home was remodeled to coordinate with the finishes and selections of the master bath and kitchen.
