This Portland kitchen transformation focused on reimagining the flow and functionality of the space, while also refreshing its look and feel. The original layout featured a peninsula that created a visual and physical barrier between the cooking and dining areas—and the patio outside—limiting both movement and social interaction.
The homeowners goal was to remove this dividing element and replacing it with a thoughtfully designed custom island that serves as both a functional workspace and a natural gathering point. This strategic change opened up the entire space, creating a seamless flow while maintaining distinct zones for cooking and dining.
Because one of the homeowners is a talented woodworker, we were able to incorporate some really lovely, custom handmade elements throughout the kitchen and dining room.
The result is a kitchen that not only functions better but creates a more inviting environment for both everyday living and entertaining.

In 2023, spoga+gafa in Cologne once again confirmed its relevance as the world's largest garden lifestyle and BBQ trade fair and further expanded its position as the leading international trade and networking platform for the green industry.
The uniting strength of gardens has hardly ever been as important as today. They bring people together, regardless of their origin, status or beliefs. Social Gardens begin where gardening, plants or relaxing outdoors become social interaction. They promote the community, health and regeneration and create an awareness for the natural environment. With its key theme Social Gardens, spoga+gafa 2023 is focusing on gardens, balconies and terraces as connecting, diverse and sustainable places of encounter.
HIGOLD's team decorated the exhibition as a garden.
The HIGOLD team decorated the exhibition as a garden, bringing together a lot of elite people interested in outdoor furniture, and we talked about the idea of outdoor furniture.
This applies more than ever today after two years of pandemic and in the face of the current global political situation. As a place of joint retreat gardens and green spaces in general are gaining more and more significance. They offer a place of refuge for recovering from the fast-paced everyday routine and bring people together.
Outdoor furniture is essential in garden style,they allow us to stay in the garden and enjoy free talking time.Every outdoor furniture has thereby a social and interactive quality in addition to its functional and creative characteristics.Indeed, the social interaction is what actually lends a garden its own special magic: The garden hosepipe or the sprinkler the children play with in the sun; the outdoor lounge suite the family relaxes on together; the raised flowerbed the neighbours all jointly use to plant vegetables or the grill used for having a BBQ with friends.

At the core of this transformation was the client’s aspiration for an open, interconnected space.
The removal of barriers between the kitchen, dining, and living areas created an expansive, fluid layout, elevating the home’s ambiance and facilitating seamless interaction among spaces.
The new open layout is the perfect space to cook and entertain merging sophistication with functionality.
The journey began with the client’s exploration of colors, eventually embracing Benjamin Moore’s Hale Navy blue as the cornerstone for the cabinetry. This choice set the stage for a harmonious palette that tied in with the living and dining room furniture and rugs.
Integrating a natural stone countertop became a focal point, incorporating these varied hues while gold fixtures added a touch of luxury and sophistication.
Throughout the design process, challenges were met with innovative solutions. Space optimization was key, requiring strategic placement of appliances like a smaller-width refrigerator alongside a pull-out pantry cabinet. The island, a central feature, not only provided additional seating but replaced the need for a separate table and chairs, optimizing the space for gatherings and enhancing the flow between the kitchen and the adjoining areas.
The revitalized kitchen now stands as a vibrant hub for social interaction. The homeowner seamlessly integrates into gatherings, no longer confined by kitchen walls, while guests engage effortlessly in the cooking process at the island. This transformation embodies the convergence of beauty and functionality, where every design element tells a story of thoughtful innovation and meticulous attention to detail.

Step into the epitome of modern culinary sophistication with this stunning kitchen featuring a huge island at its heart. As you enter, your eyes will be drawn to the magnificent centerpiece, a vast and stylish island that beckons you to gather and indulge in culinary delights.
The island stands proudly in the middle of the kitchen, a captivating blend of form and function. Its sleek design and clean lines exude contemporary charm, making it the focal point of the entire space. The ample surface area of the island offers a spacious and versatile workspace, perfect for preparing meals, hosting gatherings, or simply enjoying casual conversations with family and friends.
Surrounding this culinary masterpiece are six high chairs made of wood in a monogyny color, each adorned with luxurious black leather seats. These elegant chairs not only add a touch of refinement to the kitchen but also provide comfortable seating for guests to gather around the island. Whether it's enjoying a quick breakfast, sharing appetizers during a social event, or savoring a leisurely meal, the high chairs create a welcoming and convivial atmosphere.
The combination of the grand island and the exquisite wooden high chairs epitomizes the perfect blend of style and functionality. The monogyny color of the wood complements the modern aesthetic, creating a seamless and harmonious ambiance throughout the kitchen.
This modern kitchen with its awe-inspiring island and inviting high chairs is a haven for culinary exploration and social interactions. It's a space that invites you to embrace your inner chef, host memorable gatherings, and create cherished moments with your loved ones, making every mealtime a delightful and unforgettable experience.

This was an Addition/Renovation for a young couple and their two children, to an existing house that was originally designed and built in 1939. Like many homes of this era, the Kitchen was not developed as a place of family gathering and social interaction, like modern kitchens and life-styles of today, and this was the seed for the desire, by the home owners, when they asked me to help them to ‘Update’ their home.

Before: Previously, the kitchen's compact 128-square-foot layout had no space for a proper island. The confined area, bordered by walls and an adjacent dining room, made the kitchen feel closed off and disjointed from the rest of the home. Without an island, the kitchen lacked a central hub for meal prep, dining, and social interaction, limiting its functionality and appeal. The absence of this feature left the homeowners with limited counter space and nowhere to gather or entertain comfortably.

By removing the small island and adding an angular peninsula we were able to add informal seating, additional work space and storage. Allowing for great function and social interaction. The rockface edge on the peninsula and stone striped backsplash incorporate some of the owners passion for the outdoors and soften this contemporary design.

In this full home remodeling, we transformed the kitchen into an open concept design, providing more space, enhancing social interaction, and potentially increasing your home's resale value. It's essential to assess your specific needs, lifestyle, and preferences.
This open kitchen features sanded and sealed parquet flooring, a fresh coat of blue interior paint, and LED recessed lighting, creating a welcoming atmosphere.

The original kitchen was cut off from the living spaces, so we opened up the space and reconfigured it for better social interaction and functionality. We added an 8' island, clad in Borghini quartz, ran a gas line to support the Thor high end appliance package and turned the window into a slider to enable access to a new view deck.
