Outside the Box
OUTSIDE THE BOX
Partnered project with Battle Associates Architects
Designed with Liz Mitchell
Our client loves her family and loves to cook. But she did NOT love trying to cook with her family constantly streaming in and out of the old kitchen’s five entrances! Their architect went way outside the box for the right solution: swapping the locations of the kitchen and family room entirely — the fieldstone fireplace in the left photo was out and the new kitchen sink and wall of windows went in its place. The architect knew Platt’s strong reputation for creative problem solving and in-house custom cabinet shop and recommended us enthusiastically. Our ability to work in collaboration was as critical as our ability to marshal the subcontractors, allocate the carpenters and custom-craft the cabinets they designed. Our client is delighted with the outcome, and as icing on the cake, the project was named the 2016 Best Kitchen of the Year in a national remodeling competition.
We have since been back to this home and remodeled their primary bathroom: a multiple industry award-winning space completed in 2020.
