20th Century Modern to 21st Century Chic!
1968 Contemporary home gets 21st Century makeover. View the completed project album with before during & after photos on our Houzz profile!
This gorgeous soft contemporary home overlooks a golf course with beautiful, serene views from all sides. The home’s floor plan was closed off and did not have a good flow for entertaining. The clients knew exactly what they wanted and were not afraid to “think outside the box”. They moved from the downtown area into the suburbs for a more relaxing space to come home to. Our client, Laurie, is a talented artist and needed space for her studio.
The original kitchen was closed off from the dining room, creating a dark, cave-like space that feels small and does not align with the client’s entertaining style. While the dining room and great room feature high, vaulted ceilings, the kitchen has lower 8-foot ceilings with 7-foot soffits, which makes the spaces feel disconnected and diminishes the overall flow and functionality of the home.
Scope of Work
The renovation included removing the wall separating the kitchen from the dining and great room to create an open-concept layout that fully showcases the stunning golf course views. The kitchen received a refresh with new luxury-grade appliances, updated cabinet doors and drawer fronts, and a redesigned pantry door. Painted shiplap boards were added to the kitchen workspace for architectural interest, while additional cabinetry was incorporated to extend the new island. A wine fridge and storage were installed in a newly designed dry bar, enhancing both style and functionality.
The great room fireplace wall was refinished, and built-ins, along with a barn door, were added to the A/V closet for a clean, organized look. The stairwell to the second floor was opened up and modernized with a sleek new metal railing system featuring cables. All hardwood floors throughout the home were refinished, and the home office was painted and updated to complete the transformation.
