By relocating an existing powder room, we transformed a narrow galley space into an open, highly functional kitchen designed for two cooks. This layout incorporates high-capacity essentials, including a deep refrigerator and a combination wall oven, with tons of prep space. Every nook and cranny was maximized for storage, leaving ample room to dance, which was a requirement 💃🕺.
Lighting was just as critical as spatial optimization in this project. Using Wi-Fi-controlled fixtures, we created a layered lighting plan featuring linear recessed, under-cabinet, and interior glass cabinet lights that span the kitchen and dining room to set the mood for any occasion.
Achieving an intentional transition between the two areas required structural precision: cutting back the original stairs accommodated both the relocated powder room and a smooth, natural flow into the dining space.
Creating a space built for entertaining inside a tight footprint is the ultimate exercise in clever storage. To unlock hidden potential, we utilized specialty hardware to fit an appliance lift inside a deep corner unit only accessible from above. No space was left underutilized: every toe kick hides a pull-out drawer, and both sinks are outfitted with built-in accessories that keep counter space completely clear for additional prep and serving.
