The homeowners wanted a kitchen remodel
to increase functionality while retaining the heritage and charm
established by previous owners. A mixture of light and dark cabinetry
maximizes natural light, while integrating the dark, carved beams into
the space. The island was redesigned to maintain more working space, and
reoriented to create delineation from the breakfast room. A lowered
island for seating replaces a former peninsula with bar seating and
creates better traffic flow to adjoining areas. The resulting kitchen
embraces unique German architectural elements, while providing an
efficient work area and convenient traffic patterns.
