THE OBJECTIVE
To refresh this 1930’s home and maximize its potential as a more open, heritage inspired home, while introducing contemporary, open-concept design that allows aging-in-place. The restored heritage features allow for an updated feel and their age-in-place needs are met.
HOW IT WAS ACHIEVED
Through an addition, the kitchen was expanded and made more functional, while also providing a new deck in the rear of the home. To open up the space the staircase going to the upper floor was made semi-open with new glass railings and the walls around it were removed. Walls enclosing staircase to upper-floor removed. Exiting staircase replaced with unified, shop-made millwork with lower landing winders. Crown moulding, pendant lighting, farmhouse-style sink, chrome pulls on Shaker cabinetry give contemporary freshness while retaining heritage ambiance. Contemporary glass railings allow newly revealed view through dining, kitchen, family and lounge. Sight-lines are enhanced throughout this area and make the rooms go from isolated and boxy, to open and connected. This 180 square foot addition eliminates awkward nook and makes entire kitchen square to improve functionality.
