Project Summary
This was a remodel designed to last a lifetime. The homeowners wanted a larger island and a more functional layout—perfect for grandchildren, gatherings, and everyday family life.
Construction was completed while they were away, keeping disruption to a minimum. Every design choice prioritized both immediate comfort and long-term ease of use, ensuring the home remains practical and beautiful for years ahead. That’s also known as the “Universal Design” approach to remodeling.
Natural wood surfaces and calming green colors bring the outdoors in, creating a warm, inviting space that reflects the home’s surroundings and the family’s lifestyle.
