PROJECT FEATURE:   Waite Park 1st Floor Remodel + Kitchen Addition

This whole-level remodel started with the existing kitchen/dining area being cramped and the rear, sunken entrance to the home not fitting the homeowners’ everyday needs. They wanted an open floor plan with plenty of counter space, base cabinetry, natural light, and generous walking spaces for traffic flow to accommodate a busy family of 5. A mudroom was also key to allow for a daily drop spot for coats, shoes, and sports equipment.



The sunken area in the kitchen was framed in to be level with the rest of the floor, and three walls were removed to create a flexible space for their current and future needs. Natural light drove the cabinet design and resulted in primarily base cabinets instead of a standard upper cabinet/base cabinet layout. Deep drawers, accessories, and tall storage replaced what would be wall cabinets to allow for the empty wall space to capture as much natural light as we could. The double sliding door and large window were important factors in maximizing light. The island and peninsula create a multi-functioning space for two prep areas, guests to sit, a homework/work spot, etc.

An exterior deck is currently in the process of being built, and will complete this family’s functional remodel.
