​Finished Project #30: Charlotte, NC

PHASE 1
This is the initial phase where we have conversations with our client to discuss the challenges they’re facing with their home and brainstorm solutions leveraging our design and planning team.

What challenges is our client leveraging us to solve?

Two-story white house with brown shutters and lawn
  • Modernizing upper cabinetry without disrupting kitchen functionality.

  • Updating shelving to achieve a clean, open, and contemporary look.

  • Integrating all improvements seamlessly with the existing kitchen layout and finishes.

PHASE 2
(Design & Planning)

Areas we're renovating and details we'll work on  

Kitchen:

  • New upper cabinets and shelving.

During our initial visit, we walked through the home to better understand the clients’ vision and identify key opportunities. That walkthrough laid the foundation for a focused and functional design plan.

We developed 2D layout options to explore different configurations and improve flow and functionality. These drawings guided our next steps in planning.

We met with the homeowners to review layout options, materials, and overall design direction. These sessions helped refine the plan to align with their vision and priorities.

Images from the existing kitchen were used as a reference to match materials, layout, and overall design, as the renovation focused on updating only a portion of the space.

Current 3D Layout

The existing kitchen features traditional upper cabinets, with a layout that limits storage and visual openness. Overall space could benefit from modernization and improved functionality.

Proposed 3D Layout

The proposed design updates half of the upper cabinetry and shelving, creating a more modern, open, and functional kitchen. The refreshed cabinets improve aesthetics while enhancing storage and usability. Shelving updates help streamline the space and provide a cleaner, contemporary look.
