Kitchens
From 1890's restoration to 2020's contemporary, we love kitchens. It is the one room in the home that blends the need for high efficiency with the desire for human connection and memories. We help our clients create these spaces through extensive conversation and thorough implementation of the finest details.
Project Highlight: 1890 Restoration
Renovation of 1890 home involved the removal of a 1980's kitchen which had caused the floor to fail and sag by 2-1/2". New kitchen has white oak hydronic floors, handmade tiles from England, custom plaster crown moldings and Thermador appliances.
Project Highlight: 1900, Top Floor Brownstone
This kitchen renovation involved stripping out a 1980's renovation from a brownstone constructed in 1900 in Brookline, MA.. Due to an outdated electrical service, it required a new service and circuitry to support the double wall oven (with speed oven) and dual fuel Wolf range. The hood was routed up through the roof.
Deeper inside the bones, the structural floor had to be completely re-built due to excessive failure/ settling in one corner of the 12x24 room. New 6x30 ceramic, wood-look tile was installed for durability.
To add functionality to the top floor unit, the client required the laundry machines to be moved from the family bathroom to the kitchen. Since a full-size cabinet would not fit up the main staircase, we assembled them within the space, around the machines.
Project Highlight: 1985 Townhome
Client desired to update the original 1985 kitchen, which they owned since new, to a clean and sleek modern space. New, white, piano-gloss cabinets, double-thick blue granite and fully paneled Sub-Zero and Jena-Air appliances delivered them their dream kitchen.
Project Highlight: 1920 Colonial
This kitchen renovation involved removing a structural wall that separated the Kitchen from the Dining room. The removal made space for a family-friendly island for quick meals and homework. It also opened up the spaces to more light and better circulation for entertaining. We also removed a rear mudroom space to enable a coffee station, more storage and better light from the back porch.
Since the clients were passionate cooks, they required professional-grade appliances. Make-up air for the range hood was integrated into the wall above the refrigerator, which buffered the winter air drawn into the space during the colder months.
