HDR Remodeling Inc.The wood cabinetry, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances add an element of luxury to the small space.
Distinctive KitchensBy incorporating smaller appliances and custom-built pieces, the space feels larger, everything fits and the newly imagined spaces feel airy and light. We installed a Lacanche Cormatin and accented the black of the range with a slab of absolutely stunning Statuario marble with dramatic gray and black veining. Our built-in 24" fridge allows the working side of the kitchen to function as if it's twice as largePhoto by Wynne Earle Photography
next125Wenig Platz für Küche, aber trotzdem viel Platz in der Küche, dazu noch ein Kommunikationszentrum in Form einer Bartheke – fertig ist die Loftküche. Was sich so leicht anhört, ist das Ergebnis perfekter Planung. Da wären zum Beispiel die raumhoch eingebauten Hochschränke mit Fronten in edlem Ceramic Marmor bianco Nachbildung, kombiniert mit extra Stauraum in Unterschränken in samtmattem Achatgrau. Kontrast und Auflockerung bieten die offenen Schübe aus hellem Holz, die alles Notwendige verstauen. So entsteht eine „große“ Küche auf kleinstem Raum.
Little space for the kitchen, but plenty of space in the kitchen, plus a place for communication in the form of a breakfast bar – that‘s the loft kitchen. What sounds so easy means perfect planning. For instance, the floor-to-ceiling fitted tall units with fronts in exquisite ceramic marble bianco effect, combined with extra storage space in base units in subtle agate grey velvet matt. Contrast and a less formal look com from the open drawers in light-coloured wood which can be used to hold simply everything that needs to be in easy reach. Particular attention has been given to configuring the drawers and pull-outs to make good use of every inch of space. This creates a “big” kitchen in a small space.

Kitchen Studio: Kansas CityThis tiny kitchen was barely usable by a busy mom with 3 young kids. We were able to remove two walls and open the kitchen into an unused space of the home and make this the focal point of the home the clients had always dreamed of! Hidden on the back side of this peninsula are 3 cubbies, one for each child to store their backpacks and lunch boxes for school. The fourth cubby contains a charging station for the families electronics.
Josh Wynne ConstructionI 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.

Rough Sawn cabinets with a double glazing process contrast the frosted glass cabinet doors and nickel hardware. Gives a whole different take on a log home kitchen. Modernizing without drifting to far from its rustic base.
