Severely dated kitchen becomes a light-filled architectural gem
Before: A closed-off kitchen with little room to move
THEN: There was limited connection between the living spaces and the backyard.
After: Open-concept space with ample room to host
NOW: On the main floor, light pours into the kitchen from black-framed floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, which lead outside. Black was also used on the lower cabinets to ground the space and to contrast all the white. The white-painted exposed brick wall above the Corian perimeter countertop acts as a durable backsplash and adds a nostalgic touch. The sleek custom range hood enhances the modern look.
Reaching the sky
THEN: With dropped ceilings and tiny windows, the back of the main-floor flat felt confined. NOW: Replacing the dropped ceilings with a smooth surface increased the space’s height by a foot, enhancing its airy vibe. The sustainable wide-plank birch floors also contribute to the light and spacious feel of the house. To create continuity, the same birch appears on the white Corian-topped island, which complements the less variegated birch on the nearby staircase.
