Haven Design and ConstructionThis 1902 San Antonio home was beautiful both inside and out, except for the kitchen, which was dark and dated. The original kitchen layout consisted of a breakfast room and a small kitchen separated by a wall. There was also a very small screened in porch off of the kitchen. The homeowners dreamed of a light and bright new kitchen and that would accommodate a 48" gas range, built in refrigerator, an island and a walk in pantry. At first, it seemed almost impossible, but with a little imagination, we were able to give them every item on their wish list. We took down the wall separating the breakfast and kitchen areas, recessed the new Subzero refrigerator under the stairs, and turned the tiny screened porch into a walk in pantry with a gorgeous blue and white tile floor. The french doors in the breakfast area were replaced with a single transom door to mirror the door to the pantry. The new transoms make quite a statement on either side of the 48" Wolf range set against a marble tile wall. A lovely banquette area was created where the old breakfast table once was and is now graced by a lovely beaded chandelier. Pillows in shades of blue and white and a custom walnut table complete the cozy nook. The soapstone island with a walnut butcher block seating area adds warmth and character to the space. The navy barstools with chrome nailhead trim echo the design of the transoms and repeat the navy and chrome detailing on the custom range hood. A 42" Shaws farmhouse sink completes the kitchen work triangle. Off of the kitchen, the small hallway to the dining room got a facelift, as well. We added a decorative china cabinet and mirrored doors to the homeowner's storage closet to provide light and character to the passageway. After the project was completed, the homeowners told us that "this kitchen was the one that our historic house was always meant to have." There is no greater reward for what we do than that.

Gaile Guevara| DETAILS | When we meet at corners it's a game of Tetris and the Rubix Cube exchange between material thickness and clearances to how lines intersect or how hardware functions to ensure full access so no inch of space is ever wasted. I've never been a fan of corner cabinetry it's always reminded me of the terrible girlfriend Lazy Susan. At first I was sad we lost the proposal of a full access 50" High and Wide cabinet because of the request to add a corner upper to left of hood fan. Sometimes with challenges we make hard decisions and often several rounds of shop drawing review and meetings are added. Much thanks to the hard work of @somafurniture and @caisleydevelopments for their patience. 2 hidden corner pull outs 1 for wet goods (oils & vinegars) + 1 for dry goods (spices & salts) full access upper above and below with the upgrade sister Lemans II corner pull out. @miele_com appliances are now installed and lie flush with @caesarstoneca countertops. Excited to see in person the perfect combo of white washed Baltic Birch cabinet fronts and interiors throughout. A whole new appreciation for making a corner work. Finger pull detail as the alternative to touch latch to avoid the finger prints and constant cleaning. I've seen over the years so many projects fail after 10-15 years touch latch hardware needing to be replaced.
