More Cooks in the Kitchen—A Lino Lakes Remodel
When functionality is the main issue, drastic measures must be considered to correct the problems. In this Hugo remodel, we did a 180-degree transformation, moving the kitchen to where the living room and fireplace used to be and visa-verse.

Project Summary
It’s rare that a homeowner actually wants more cooks in their kitchen. However, in this case, that’s exactly what they wanted along with more accessibility. As more and more homeowners decide to invest in their existing residences, they are discovering the multi-faceted uses of an open kitchen concept. Such a design solves a host of issues, from storage to traffic flow, new sightlines to other rooms and the outside world.
In this case, an open kitchen concept remodel also acts as a gathering place that can accommodate many while making everyone feel included and welcome.
