Before & After

Hawthorne Hills Kitchen: Before & After

Three years ago, this kitchen was relocated within the existing footprint of the house.  The change was very dramatic - opening the kitchen, dining, and living rooms to each other and creating a larger, more functional laundry room.  Last night, the homeowner was testing out a new camera and send some candid shots along with news that the kitchen still looks like new!  

And, this is what that same space looked like during construction:

Frelo: Before & After

Challenge  This home had a significant amount of maintenance due, in addition to outdated decor.  Originally, the plans were limited to updating the kitchen, bathroom, roofing, and heating system.  Once the design process began, the idea of opening the main living spaces to the view inspired the homeowners expand the project to transform the house into their dream live/work environment.  

Solution  The project became a “near” tear-down (one wall and the slab-on-grade remained). An entirely new, energy-efficient home now stands in its place, complete with an acoustically-isolated work area.
