Everybody sees the pretty picture at the end, but let’s talk about part of what it takes to get there. Speaking of what it takes, shout out to the incredible team Clark + Green Architects and the photographer who captured our work together so beautifully Marco Petrini
Every kitchen starts with the work triangle- stove, sink, fridge- the three points you move between most. Get the distances wrong and the room fights you every day.
Then it’s the second layer: the dishwasher getting loaded near the sink, but also near where the everyday dishes live. Where does trash go, and is it still reachable for prep? These things alone solve or create 80% of a kitchen’s daily friction.
There is no one “right” answer, even in a new build where you get to help design from the ground up. Yet each client has their right answer- how they want to use and inhabit what is (arguably) the most important room in the house.
Then the fun part- using inspirational photos to show what’s possible, selecting finishes, materials, and fixtures. Every material earns its place.
We go back and check our assumptions in elevation, as we work out the details and refine the design.
