Project Description
Priorities
- Connect the kitchen with the family room
- Keep the kitchen area defined via a large island
- Maintain the 1920s Dutch Colonial aesthetic
Solutions
When the clients approached Kathryn
O’Donovan at Normandy Remodeling to refurbish their kitchen, their
desires were clear: take the small space crammed between the family and
dining rooms and create more of a connection and open feel to complement
the home’s 1920s Dutch Colonial look.
O’Donovan recommended a
small but vital addition so that the kitchen could flow beyond its
original confines to seamlessly blend with the family room. However, to
delineate the spaces and to balance the length of the newly elongated
kitchen, a large marble-topped island with extra seating was added. A
diagonal walk-in pantry and Sub-Zero fridge are located in the old
kitchen’s space which now allows easy access from the new, all-white
kitchen, adjacent dining room, and family room.
Judges’ Comments
“The design enhances the living space and creates a much more successful kitchen.”
