This near west-side, two-story, 1960’s home had been remodeled in the 1990s. The kitchen was comprised of cabinets in a strange and uncomfortable layout. The homeowners were eager to renovate the space to better fit their family’s needs. Working within the existing footprint, TDS gutted the area down to the studs and added a large picture window to make the kitchen feel roomy and open.

The chief goal of this kitchen remodel was to create a space that would accommodate a busy family and allow for multiple cooks. The original u-shape kitchen with soffits and peninsula wall cabinets felt dark and cramped despite the large amount of windows. By installing new shorter windows in the dinette space, we were able to extend the counter into that area.

A historically sensitive, single-story addition, with an exposed basement, was added to increase living space while maximizing lake views. An additional half-bathroom was added over the new foundation, utilizing salvaged brick to maintain the historical essence of the home. Select interior walls were also removed for better flow and views.
