A young family in Milton looking to give their home a modernistic aesthetic had several items on their remodeling wish list including a new kitchen and eating area. Comprised of a series of previous additions around the original 20th century structure, the home had an eclectic style but no coherence. By reconfiguring the existing space, our design team improved the circulation and functionality of the house.
The outdated, old kitchen did not have much of a workflow and contained two unattractive posts clad in brass. The support structure of the entire house was enhanced, allowing the posts in the kitchen to be removed. By taking over the space of the original laundry area, a closet and bathroom, the new contemporary kitchen has a greatly improved layout. Overall the space is much more open and light-filled. Maple cabinets by Greenfield and red accents on the pendant lighting warm the kitchen while high gloss white cabinetry from Elmwood, simply elegant nickel hardware and stainless steel appliances give the kitchen its crisp, clean look. The contrasting Pietra Cardosa limestone countertops provide visual interest and plenty of workspace.
Gray porcelain Silverstone Grigio floor tiles are used in the kitchen area while Brazilian cherry creates another boundary for the eating area. The ceiling follows this demarcation as well with a tray treatment and soffits with recessed lighting. Task lighting complements the abundant natural light. A frosted glass divider separates the eating area from the foyer leading to an indoor pool. The faceted ceiling in the eating area incorporates soaring angles, skylights and modern fixtures, further illuminating the space.
Consistent design elements and beautiful materials make this kitchen and eating area renovation game changing.
