The granite Dekton quartz waterfall countertop on the oversized island serves as the focal point of the open-concept kitchen. Sleek cabinetry, loads of white and glass pendants create a minimalist feel, while the wide-plank floors and walnut lowers bring some warmth to the space.

3D architectural interior rendering you’ve just seen is a great example of how computer-generated imagery saves Architects and Designers loads of effort. The challenge was that the room did not have much space and needed to accommodate 3 functional zones. In order to pull that off, our client used a whole variety of interior design solutions, which he needed to showcase. And what can demonstrate a project better than photorealistic visualization?

What was once a makeshift storage room off the garage is now a bright, large laundry room, with loads of storage, place for a stool for crafts or as a home office, a handy sink for washing delicates, and lots of natural light.

The entire south wall of the kitchen was opened up to connect it to the dining room and give the cook the opportunity to enjoy expansive views of downtown Portland through the dining room windows. A new stainless vent hood and range were added plus a wine fridge and custom penninsula. Photos by Photo Art Portraits

The clients had four directives going into the project. They didn’t want it to look like a condo, they wanted as much storage space as possible, be daring with color, and they wanted a usable practical kitchen to cook in. We began by removing the wall between the kitchen and living room. This allowed the living room to open further on to the fabulous views. To achieve the Nantucket beach cottage feel we selected two colors for the kitchen both with distressing. The lighter color is called Putty Matte, which softly contrasts with the Midnight Black finish. The bead board paneling and interiors of cabinets along with crystal knobs, soapstone counter top and beamed ceiling further enhance the feeling that you are in a century old New England home. We included space saving items such as a 30” refrigerator, 12” wide pull out pantry, tray storage, etc. To maximize the storage, I designed banquet seating with storage drawers below. Cubby shelves behind the banquet house books & special objects. I chose to relocate the refrigerator to the outer side of the kitchen space so that one could retrieve a soda or snack without walking into the “cook’s area”. The dishwasher was moved to the left side of the sink as opposed to the right side. It can now be loaded directly from the table or from the sink side.

My client wanted a home office with plenty of desk space as well as storage for his vast collection of books. My installer Jimmy did an amazing job bringing my vision to life! By using Ruby Plank Melamine for the structure we were able to save my client some money without sacrificing on the overall look of his office. The drawer faces and moldings are all solid wood stained to match the Ruby Plank Maple Melamine. My client was already starting to put his books on the shelves before my installer was even finished loading his van! I love helping my clients get organized!

Amy Birrer The kitchen pictured here is in a turn of the century home that still uses the original stove from the 1930’s to heat, cook and bake. The porcelain sink with drain boards are also originals still in use from the 1950’s. The idea here was to keep the original appliances still in use while increasing the storage and work surface space. Although the kitchen is rather large it has many of the issues of an older house in that there are 4 integral entrances into the kitchen, none of which could be rerouted or closed off. It also needed to encompass in-kitchen eating and a space for a dishwasher. The fully integrated dishwasher is raised off the floor and sits on ball and claw feet giving it the look of a freestanding piece of furniture. Elevating a dishwasher is a great way to avoid the constant bending over associated with loading and unloading dishes. The cabinets were designed to resemble an antique breakfront in keeping with the style and age of the house.
