KITCHENS

Challenge

Our clients had relocated to Madison, WI to be closer to family. With a new home, new employment, and a familiarity with the remodeling process already, they were ready to jump into an extensive renovation that would give them the functional needs and lifestyle design improvements they needed to feel more comfortable in their new home. Modern amenities were a must, along with a new home gym and an en suite for frequent out-of-town guests.

This design-build plan would be carried out the renovations in two stages:

First stage: Focus on the first floor (kitchen, great room, dining room, and master bathroom), as well as the lower-level workout room)

Second stage: Lower-level en suite

The outdated primary bathroom had a small shower, soaking tub, and tired cabinetry.

Importance was placed on converting the dark, dated kitchen (as well as the adjoining dining and great rooms) into something lighter, brighter, and more aesthetically appealing. The design plan would include the homeowner’s desire for commercial-grade appliances and solid surface countertops. It also included new custom perimeter cabinetry and a reconfigured large, center island.

Solution

We redesigned the cabinet plan to include a large center island with seating. The kitchen received a fresh coat of paint in light colors, and updated appliances including a new gas range, flooring, cabinetry, quartz countertops, backsplash, lighting, and plumbing fixtures.

Other features:

• A new fireplace insert and façade in the great room
• Redesigned lower-level space to include a large exercise room
• New lower-level en suite with a 36” vanity, new countertop, double sink vanity, mirror, and faucets.
