From Builder Blah to Designer Divine

Clients in the Hill Top neighborhood of Denver, CO wanted to remove an old worn down kitchen addition and build a larger kitchen for the wife who loves to cook daily meals for her family. For their addition, they had previously worked with a prominent Denver builder however, things did not work out. When the clients came to us, it was agreed that we would use the footprint developed by the builder but, we would take it from there and make it spectacular.

We met with the wife to discuss her goals and desires, both functionally and aesthetically. From that point, we developed three floor plan options for the kitchen addition. Option 1 was basically the builder’s kitchen plan but, improved to bring it up to the National Kitchen and Bath Association’s (NKBA) kitchen design standards. This gave the client a very small and almost useless island, not much cabinet space, and an eating area isolated from the rest of the kitchen. The client chose Option 3 which we used as a starting point to create the kitchen of her dreams.

In addition to designing the kitchen addition/remodel, we reconfigured the adjacent powder room. This added space for storage areas outside of the powder room for the client’s children to store their coats and school supplies, when entering the house from the garage.

Next, we worked with the client on the finish and product selections for their spaces. They wanted contemporary spaces that incorporated classic modern design styles such as an Eero Saarinen table and chairs for the eating area of the kitchen. We presented the client with several options each for tile, cabinet finishes, plumbing and lighting fixtures. Once the initial selections were made the design was well on its way.
