“The owner wanted a very open space with a minimum between the spaces of life,” said David Davison Certified Remodeler. “It had to be light and airy with clean lines and an urban loft feel space.”
Before the redesign, the U shaped kitchen and its low ceiling was the opposite of hope of the owner. “There was a multitude of small rooms which were very limiting and created a very dark and claustrophobic feel to the space,” said Davison. The islands of work were too narrow for cooking more than one function at a time, and blind corner cabinets make difficult visibility and access. The lack of a proper pantry topped defects in the kitchen.
To conquer the defects of its cuisine, the owner had a design in mind that approached their budget. “As the advanced design and was added more scope, we had [the owner] conscious of where he was a trend in prices,” said architect Christopher Davison. “His desire was to design the project to include all your wishes and then [we can] scale when it came time, if necessary.”

A glass bar top leaves the finish flamed granite island and offers visual relief from the other finishes in the space.
“The island is the horse’s actual work in the kitchen,” said Bowen. As the island outlines the work area space, you need beauty and durability. “The mineral makeup of this particular stone shines under the lighting with pieces of quartz,” added Bowen. “Flamed texture is uncommon, and asks to be touched.”

As an artist, the customer wanted a pop of color to express its eclectic style. “This particular shade of Green has the perfect intensity and saturation to complement the other colors of the enlightenment and the furniture in the surrounding areas,” said Bowen. “It’s a very happy green shade.”
