Renovation and Addition

About This Project

This renovation began by opening the main floor and staircase of the house, increasing natural light and interior lines of sight. By removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room and by adding a large steel girder to transfer the second-floor load, we doubled the size of the kitchen without changing its overall footprint. The small back utility room was removed and replaced with a new addition including a side entry, mudroom, laundry, powder room, and private guest suite with a striking cathedral ceiling. Against the new bright white walls, the owner showcased her love of color through her selection of tile, paint, and of course the coveted pink stove. The result is a house to be enjoyed by many visitors, but with the personalized touch necessary to make it feel like home.
