We are delighted to present one of our recent interior design projects—a major renovation of a large family home. In this project, we had the pleasure of working with a couple whose children are now in their 20s and no longer live at home. The couple frequently entertain guests and the kitchen serves as a central hub for family get togethers.
Our involvement in the renovation began right from the start, allowing us to design and create a cohesive and harmonious atmosphere throughout the entire home. We took charge of the project as the lead designer and coordinated all the trades involved to ensure a smooth execution. Our scope of work included renovating the ensuite bathroom, family bathroom and separate toilet, a guest bathroom, powder room, media room, study, outdoor kitchen, laundry, kitchen and scullery, master bedroom and living room.
One of the highlights of this renovation was the kitchen, which was seamlessly integrated with the family room and extended into the outdoor living space. This design allowed for easy flow and connectivity between indoor and outdoor entertaining areas.
In line with our clients’ vision, our objective was to create a beautiful and functional space that catered to their frequent entertaining needs. The kitchen was designed to be luxurious and equipped with top-quality appliances. Furthermore, we paid special attention to the coffee aficionados in the family, incorporating a dedicated coffee area. To enhance the entertainment experience, we integrated a bar area complete with a wine fridge and ample space for drink preparation.
We are proud of our collaboration with these clients and the stunning result that we achieved together. The renovated space now embodies their desire for a sophisticated, functional, and inviting atmosphere, where they can host memorable gatherings with family and friends.
