"The condo's flow was working well, so the open l-shaped kitchen layout wasn't going to change. And Davis was game to work with some existing elements for sustainability's sake, like the existing cabinetry. The trick would be crafting a cohesive entertaining hub with three distinct zones - a cooking area, dining space, and bar - within the current footprint. Still, the plan was to open up the kitchen visually by removing the upper cabinets on the sink wall."
"Nothing was wrong with the space, per se, but Davis' client was going through a life transition and ready for a kitchen truly customized to her cooking and style preferences. "The condo's kitchen began as a typical new construction space, outfitted with builder-grade design packages that prioritized function over personality," says Davis. "While clean and serviceable, it lacked character, warmth, and visual interest and fell short of reflecting the homeowner's vibrant personality and bold design sensibility.""
A new-construction condo kitchen prioritized function over personality and fell short of reflecting the homeowner's bold design sensibility. The open L-shaped layout remained unchanged to preserve flow. Existing cabinetry was retained for sustainability while upper cabinets on the sink wall were removed to visually open the space. The existing tile backsplash was kept and capped with custom open wall shelves to create brightness and display tableware. Design efforts organized the footprint into three zones: cooking, dining, and a bespoke bar built for entertaining. Collected artwork and travel treasures guided finishing choices and personalization.
