SETTING
A duplex from 1920s
The upstairs rental unit
An aging kitchen in need of a facelift
PLOT
With minimal changes to the room itself, the space is transformed with inexpensive cabinets and flooring, creating a modern light and airy kitchen.
THE EXISTING PLAN
No architecture is demolished for this renovation. Only the cabinets and flooring are removed.
The adjacent closed pantry and butler's pantry are maintained, as is the access to the back balcony.
THE NEW KITCHEN
Clean white cabinets topped with white granite counters line the exterior walls. Extra storage is found in the ready-made wooden island that anchors the room to a new dark vinyl plank floor.
The refrigerator and laundry are tucked away on the opposite wall with deep storage cabinets above.
