Sometimes, the best design solutions require the removal rather than the
addition of work. This was the case with this 110-year-old row house
kitchen. The new owners wanted to make this room the “hearth” of the
house, knowing that they would be spending most of their time here with
their family of five. The clients wanted the kitchen to mix their
Connecticut and English architectural traditions bit with crisp, clean
lines. Years of neglect reduced this kitchen to a dark, uninviting and
sad space. Together, the owner/architect and the contractor began with
the premise that natural lighting with a warm and inviting material
palette would be the basis for this renovation. The color scheme used in
the kitchen is all “white-on-white” which allows the different textures
to play off each other.
