Capitol Hill
Kitchen Retreat

In Capitol Hill, we undertook a project with a family of four, including energetic twin tweens, to revitalize their outdated and dimly lit kitchen space. The existing environment lacked the warmth and functionality needed for a bustling household. Our approach focused on brightening the space with crisp white cabinets, strategically placed new lighting fixtures, and a thoughtfully redesigned layout that promotes better flow and functionality.
Central to the design is a charming built-in bench complemented by whimsical wallpaper, offering a delightful nook for relaxation and casual dining. Leveraging the kitchen's existing folding glass wall to the patio, we reorganized the layout to maximize natural light and seamlessly blend indoor-outdoor living.
This project began optimistically in March 2020, just before the world shut down, necessitating a pause in construction until 2021 when conditions were more stable. Resuming work and completing construction in 2022 felt symbolic—a testament to resilience and adaptation through uncertain times.
