This project began, and focused around, the homeowner’s need for storage. Each cabinet arrangement was designed to organize and house their extensive collection of cooking equipment. These elements included a pullout basket unit in the corner and a recessed appliance garage. The second focus was on lighting, where our design team installed a grid within the dining-room, kitchen, and living-room, that allowed the owner to create multiple moods throughout a night of entertaining.

The decking is timbertech composite, and the pergola is steel framed. This is a Chicago rooftop deck. Clean contemporary lines and strong functional overlap in spaces.

Our clients loved my suggestion of the microwave drawer when we proposed removing the dining room wall. The spice rack is on the left and trays on the right of the range anchored by pot drawers for a fully functional island with a shiny new hood above.

A beautiful home tucked back off Hess Rd on the Harford County side of Baldwin. The kitchen was original from the early 1990's.
