This mid-80s home, built with energy efficiency in mind, had missed the mark in terms of street presence, entry sequence, and kitchen connectivity. Though there were fantastic southern views from a voluminous living, dining, and circulation space, it was perhaps too large relative to the rest of the home, and the kitchen was pushed to the side; it missed out on both views and integration with the rest of the program.
Working with the existing overall layout, we created an entry and porch that addressed the street, reworked the kitchen to interact with the rest of the home, and lowered the vault in the Dining to scale down the space while affording some additional second-floor square footage for the master bedroom and closet. We also updated the stairs and finishes throughout, reworked the master bathroom, and added a library to the upstairs hall. Together with the clients, we selected some bold finish colors for the kitchen, library, and bathroom millwork, all produced in-house at Sixteen on Center’s shop.
Project Highlights
- Fabricated all kitchen cabinetry in-house at Sixteen on Center’s shop with a bold, custom color palette
- Carved a new pantry from the old mudroom to expand the kitchen size and storage
- Lowered the dining room vault to define the dining space and reclaim square footage for the primary suite above
- Reworked the primary bathroom with in-house millwork and bold color choices consistent with the rest of the home
