KITCHEN OF LIGHT 

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA

We transformed a classic 1910’s home in Minneapolis via  this creative remodeling.  Upper cabinets are replaced by a wall of windows, resulting in a kitchen,  dining room  and family room all connect to each other as one open light-filled space. Pantry cabinets hide in the door jambs, and a powder room and mail/key drop tuck cleverly into in-between spaces.  The  details through the project pay homage to the original style of the  home, while accommodating modern living.

OF NOTE
  • The cabinetry in the kitchen and dining room blend the rooms together into one unified space.
  • Large windows on all  sides kitchen bring direct sunlight into the  kitchen.
  • Shallow full height pantry cabinets in the doorway between the kitchen and family room  make use of every available space.
  • The upstairs bathroom  evokes the simple original millwork and of the house while providing ample storage and better functionality.
