Kitchen

New painted upper cabinets with stained base cabinets. Undercabinet task lighting to not only help prep, but beautifully enhances light by bouncing off the glass subway backsplash. An al dente of balance between aesthetics and function, perfectly encapsulated in a new space for the family to enjoy for years to come. Photos by Spacecrafting Photography

The dramatic open and airy kitchen remodel revealed just how much potential lied within this home. The sleek white cabinet design is much fresher than the former wood material in this kitchen and make it feel twice as big. The polished quartz countertops and backsplash perfectly complement the apron sink and new appliances, while the adorable pair of 10-lite doors scream, welcome home.

住まいの中で最も大きな立体物であるキッチン。機能性はもちろん、見た目もこだわりたくて、GRAFTEKTのキッチンを採用しました。

Renovation of an existing mid century modern home.

By removing a wall, the kitchen was opened up to both the dining room and living room. A structural column for the building was in the middle of the space; by covering it in wood paneling, the column became a distinctive architecture feature helping to define the space. To add lighting to a concrete ceiling, a false ceiling clad in wood was designed to allow for LED can lights; the cove was curved to match the shape of the building. Hardware restored from Broyhill Brasilia furniture was used as cabinet pulls, and the unit’s original Lightolier ceiling light fixtures were rewired and replated.

Originally, this custom-built wood cabin in Central Saanich was rustic and stark, but with our work, we were able to help transform it into a modern rural retreat. A key change in this home transformation was updating some of the more dated and unwelcoming design elements, including the floors. By removing the original 70's red carpets and strip Oak floors and replacing them with a Wide Plank, Pre-Finished Engineered Oak throughout, we were able to keep that secluded cabin feel all the while adding a modern refresh.

A white quartz counter, painted white woodwork, white bead board ceiling, and white subway tile behind the range balance the black cabinetry and create a warm, bright space.

I built this on my property for my aging father who has some health issues. Handicap accessibility was a factor in design. His dream has always been to try retire to a cabin in the woods. This is what he got. It is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath with a great room. It is 600 sqft of AC space. The footprint is 40' x 26' overall. The site was the former home of our pig pen. I only had to take 1 tree to make this work and I planted 3 in its place. The axis is set from root ball to root ball. The rear center is aligned with mean sunset and is visible across a wetland. The goal was to make the home feel like it was floating in the palms. The geometry had to simple and I didn't want it feeling heavy on the land so I cantilevered the structure beyond exposed foundation walls. My barn is nearby and it features old 1950's "S" corrugated metal panel walls. I used the same panel profile for my siding. I ran it vertical to match the barn, but also to balance the length of the structure and stretch the high point into the canopy, visually. The wood is all Southern Yellow Pine. This material came from clearing at the Babcock Ranch Development site. I ran it through the structure, end to end and horizontally, to create a seamless feel and to stretch the space. It worked. It feels MUCH bigger than it is. I milled the material to specific sizes in specific areas to create precise alignments. Floor starters align with base. Wall tops adjoin ceiling starters to create the illusion of a seamless board. All light fixtures, HVAC supports, cabinets, switches, outlets, are set specifically to wood joints. The front and rear porch wood has three different milling profiles so the hypotenuse on the ceilings, align with the walls, and yield an aligned deck board below. Yes, I over did it. It is spectacular in its detailing. That's the benefit of small spaces. Concrete counters and IKEA cabinets round out the conversation. For those who cannot live tiny, I offer the Tiny-ish House.
