This renovation transformed a confined, dated galley kitchen into a bright, open-concept space that flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas. The original layout limited natural light, workspace, and interaction, making daily use and entertaining challenging. By opening walls, optimizing the layout, and introducing contemporary finishes, the kitchen now serves as the central hub of the home—functional, inviting, and visually striking.
Project Highlights & Technical Scope
Open Layout Design: Connected kitchen, dining, and living spaces for improved flow and light
Custom Cabinetry: Maximized storage in a modern aesthetic
Expanded Countertops: Ample workspace for cooking and entertaining
Optimized Traffic Flow: Removal of barriers and improved circulation for everyday usability
Modern Finishes: Contemporary hardware, sleek materials, and cohesive color palette
Lighting Improvements: Enhanced natural light, supplemented with layered task and ambient lighting
The focus was to create a kitchen that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Through thoughtful layout planning, strategic lighting, and material selection, the space now feels open, functional, and inviting—perfect for everyday family life and entertaining guests.
