Kitchen Renovation – Designlinkup

Project Type: Spacial Reorganization
Location: Portland, Oregon

Existing Conditions (Kitchen):

This mid-century home is in need of some serious spacial reorganization. Two areas will be looked at: the kitchen and master bedroom suite. Let’s first take a look at the kitchen. The diagram of the kitchen and family room illustrate the “T” shape that has been created in the kitchen. There is limited flexibility with moving walls. The space behind the oven is a staircase down to the basement and due to budgetary constraints, this stair is fixed. Thus we are left with this “L” shaped space to work with. The room to the right of the kitchen is the dining room.

Project Type: Residential Renovation – Small Project
Location: Los Angeles, California

Existing Conditions

Tucked away in the hills over Los Angeles in the community of Silver Lake, the owner of this 1930’s era home is looking to renovate the living area to include the kitchen, dining and living rooms. Since these rooms are clustered on the north side of the house, they tend to be dark. Also, the three rooms are disconnected from each other, small and not suitable for hosting social events. Lastly, the owner would like to increase the ceiling height in the living room to give the room a greater sense of volume. The design challenge is to address all of these conditions.
