German Heritage

The homeowners’ wanted to remodel this kitchen in a way that would preserve and honor the German heritage made so prevalent by the original owners.  Massive, intricately carved beams and detailed stained glass windows were architectural elements that were too valuable to lose.  A mixture of light and dark cabinetry maximizes natural light, while integrating the dark, carved beams into the space.  The island was redesigned to maintain more working space, and reoriented to create a delineation from the breakfast room.  A lowered island for seating replaces a former peninsula with bar seating and creates better traffic flow to adjoining areas.  The resulting kitchen embraces unique German architectural elements, while providing an efficient work area and convenient traffic patterns.
