Expanded Kitchen Renovation with Custom Island: Creating an Open-Concept Space

Project Overview:

This project dramatically increased usable space by removing the dividing wall between the kitchen and the living room. This transformation created a large, open-concept area perfect for modern living and entertaining. A significant feature of this renovation was the addition of a custom-built kitchen island, optimizing the newly created space.

Challenges and Solutions:

• Structural Changes: Removing the load-bearing wall was the primary challenge. Temporary support using jacks was implemented until the new structural reinforcement was in place and the framing was strengthened.
• Utility Relocation: Existing utilities, including ventilation and electrical wiring, were carefully relocated by our team of licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers to accommodate the new layout.
• Custom Island Creation: The homeowners’ vision of a unique, dark blue island was realized through custom construction and painting. Electrical outlets were also installed to enhance its functionality.
• Comprehensive Renovation: The renovation included:
  • Complete demolition of the old kitchen, including floors, walls, and ceiling.
  • Installation of new drywall, plastering, and painting.
  • Installation of new flooring.
  • Installation of custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a quartz backsplash.
  • Installation and connection of new appliances.

The Result:

Photos clearly show the transformation. The kitchen is now a spacious and welcoming area, ideal for cooking, dining, and entertaining. The custom-built island serves as a focal point, providing additional workspace and seating. The homeowners are thrilled with their new kitchen, which now comfortably accommodates their entire family and friends.
