Overlook Kitchen

MISSION: To transform an outdated and disconnected cooking space into one that better suits homeowners who love to prepare food and host friends.

SOLUTIONS: Move the fridge to make way for a new window to the backyard, remove soffits to bring storage and light all the way to the ceiling, expose the brick chimney chase for visual interest and more countertop space, raise the passthrough height to improve connectivity to the dining room, add bar seating and charismatic natural shelving, and anchor the space with a colorful tetris-inspired marmoleum floor.
