The challenge in remodeling this kitchen was how to accommodate the clients desire for connectedness to the other spaces, having ample storage space and the ability to cook and socialize, while staying within the existing footprint of the room as well as few options to remove walls or parts of them.

We solved this kitchen's challenges by flipping its orientation and only slightly enlarging the opening towards the living space. While the custom kitchen cabinetry makes use of every square inch of space, we avoided a boxy feel by using a lot of round design elements to soften its lines.

The small bar area connects the kitchen and the dining / living space, but also doubles as a prep space. This layout is a good example of how even in a small space cooking and socializing can be brought together.

As big believers in lighting design, we changed the lighting across the kitchen and living space, giving these rooms a unified and comfortable ambience as well as providing color accents and appropriate task lighting.
