This kitchen was in a mid-century modern home with sweeping views of the rear yard, so we opened the floor plan and designed a kitchen that would be oriented to both the family room and dining room.

We added a projecting bay on the front elevation to allow the kitchen counter to wrap around a full size island. This shows how a small but creative intervention can be both functional and elegant.

Colonial - Potomac, MD
This Potomac home's additions and whole house renovation includes a light-filled kitchen with a large bay window and glass cabinets opposite that reflect the light back into the space. Typical of the traditional Scandinavian aesthetic favored by the client, the cabinetry was designed to feel like individual furniture pieces collected over time, including an apron-front sink, a mantel feature at the cooking area, and a natural wood island that serves as the farmhouse table.

Modern - Cleveland Park, DC
This new kitchen was designed to harmonize with the Modernist character of this historic Cleveland Park house. We located both sinks to face the picture window looking onto the patio and garden, and placed the appliances on the interior wall. A horizontal window on the front of the house allowed for a cubist-inspired shelving unit above, and a pantry off the breakfast room balances the asymmetrically placed window.

Transitional - Chevy Chase, MD
This home's owners wanted a new kitchen that wouldn't overwhelm the existing house while also adding a small Mudroom entrance adjacent to the driveway. Relocating the powder room allowed us to give the kitchen access to the rear yard.

Colonial - Chevy Chase, MD
This project reworked the first floor's circulation by eliminating a back stair and the long in-law suite to add a laundry room, pantry, and office space. The new family room is separated from the kitchen and breakfast room by a built-in while the coffered ceiling pulls the spaces together.

This client wanted a new kitchen and eating area opening to a new screened porch and added an 800 lb pizza oven. To highlight this unique feature, we paired the pizza oven with a wet bar which also serves as a counter for pizza prep.
