The kitchen is the heart of this home. Starting with a vision of an open, timeless space designed for lovers of food and cooking, we reoriented the layout and added an opening to the living room. To make the outdoors more accessible year-round, we built a covered patio with an entrance off the kitchen. Connecting the rooms on the main level achieved the flow these clients were hoping for. The clean aesthetic pairs with fun pops of color to create a space that invites warmth and connection.
