Optimized Spaces

Kitchen
Full height built-in cabinetry provides improved storage within the kitchen’s original dimensions, and an extended counter creates more workspace.
Living Room
The 100-square-foot living room also functions as a TV room and foyer. The TV is housed in a custom cabinet that includes drawers for storage and open display shelving.
Bedroom
Clever and efficient, this custom whole wall cabinet doubled the bedroom’s storage. The multi-functional unit includes two hanging closets, a chest of drawers, and additional drawer storage above and below.
Multi-Purpose Indoor-Outdoor Space
An unstable and unattractive overhang was replaced by a “catio” for the homeowner’s five felines. This multi-purpose indoor-outdoor space embraces authentic architectural elements, creates a cat-safe space, and functions as a laundry room.
