It was a very small kitchen in a 100 years old house. We have removed a load bearing wall separating Kitchen from Dining Rm. We closed off existing window to allow more cabinetry and relocated the sink and HVAC feeding upstairs. Exterior walls were insulated, windows and doors replaced. Part of this project was refinishing of stairs and all existing trim (baseboards and casings). We tried to combine modern design with original trim that had sentimental value to our client. Kitchen cabinets were custom built. We had many challenges working on this project starting from repairing sagged floors and asbestos removal to saving existing trim and relocating existing heating that was feeding upstairs. It was well worth the effort because the result is a big and beautiful Kitchen and renovated main floor.

We designed and built a custom shower and tub deck loaded with @kohler products and accessories (my personal fav, because they’re elegant) complete with custom shower glass. The shower threshold is made from the same travertine used for the floor and we cut pieces to frame in all 3 niches as well. We fabricated the linen tower at our cabinet shop and refinished the existing vanity to match. We saved a bit by keeping the original granite countertop, but everything else was gone through and replaced. Not pictured, we carried the same travertine stone flooring into the hall bath and refinished that vanity too and then built a custom vanity and medicine cabinet for the powder bath downstairs. Both of those bathroom got beautiful new stone tops,

The battery back-up system supplies power to all the household appliances and lights in the house and will keep them working for four hours during load shedding power outages. This system fits neatly under the staircase. The Italian Piazetta wood oven supplies heat through tubes to the main bedroom, patio, study and needlework rooms while the rest of the home is heated with a heat pump that takes approximately 30% less electricity than the average electrical geyser. A gas geyser was installed to supply the kitchen with warm water and to avoid wastage of using long pipes throughout the house. All outdoor windows and sliding doors where fitted with double glazing. This retains heat that saves energy and lowers the noise levels in the home. LED lights were fitted throughout the house to reduce the electricity usage to less than 10% than conventional light bulbs.
