Kitchen Remodel
Location: Spoonwood Court, Concord
This small 8 ft. by 8 ft. kitchen had an attached 8 ft by 8ft. dining nook, and a few steps away from the dining nook was the formal dining area. After some discussion, the clients’ came to the conclusion that having two designated dining areas, which were essentially next to each other, was not necessary. We then took the former dining nook area, and used it to double the size of the existing kitchen. We added lazy susan cabinets to increase the functionality and usable space in the corners of the kitchen, and made the pantry 19 inches deep (in place of 24" standard depth cabinet) to gain 5 inches of precious floor space in the narrow end of the kitchen. We designed the kitchen around the existing locations of all major appliances and windows, to save on cost involved with moving any of these items. The one exception was that we moved the refrigerator a few inches toward the open end of the kitchen, to again create some much needed space on the narrow side of the room. We also added a narrow wine fridge built into the lower cabinets.
