Live-In Kitchen
Live-In Kitchen
Life happens in the kitchen – cook, eat, clean up, do homework, pay bills, watch tv, read the newspaper, talk, entertain. Older homes like this one had a room for each of these functions so the family was never together. We combined the old kitchen and dining room into this open plan that is kitchen, dining, living and study in one space.
Although they are serious cooks and were very particular about the work flow the clients did not want the space to feel like just a big kitchen. We designed a very efficient galley kitchen with a large prep and eating island that is easy to use. The refrigerator, dishwasher and hood are all concealed and the cabinets that extend the length of the space were made to look like built-in furniture. Larger windows, white counter tops and bleached ash floors and cabinets all make the space bright and fresh.
What do the Homeowners say?
“Our experience with Aamodt / Plumb was outstanding. As anyone is, we were nervous that we would hit difficulties and challenges along the way. In fact, we never did. I truly give the credit to the incredible architect and building crew that we had. Andrew, Mette and Helena (the architect and design team) were such a pleasure to work with. They are so personable and easy going. They were always responsive within the day (usually within the hour, actually) and so easy to work with. They give wonderful ideas but are also open to the homeowner’s creativity and ideas. This was the perfect combination for us as we had many creative ideas and the team was able to make plans that could make these ideas come to life.
They have a clean and simple eye and helped us to create a modern but soft and natural look. They know their products (flooring, appliances, woods, cabinetry) very well and were able to steer us to high quality yet reasonable goods. We were most impressed by their ability to stay on time and money track and being incredibly respectful of both of these areas. We had a very tight time frame and they were able to perfectly work within it. We always felt prioritized and attended to. It’s an overwhelming process having a renovation and /or addition and Aamodt and Plumb made is more pleasant and easy than we could have imagined.” – Haven & Dan, Homeowners
