Location: Princeton, NJ
Project: Kitchen Renovation

The Problem

The client raised concerns about the layout of their kitchen and sunroom. They expressed a feeling of separation between the two spaces. They conveyed a desire for a more unified flow. They’re envisioning a seamless integration where cooking, dining, and socializing blend together seamlessly, all while providing views of the backyard landscape.

The Goal

The central aim of this kitchen renovation is to cultivate a sense of cohesion and fluidity between the kitchen and sunroom. This will create a space that seamlessly integrates both areas while maximizing their individual functionalities. With a focus on panoramic views and practicality, our goal is to design a versatile environment that serves as the heart of the home, accommodating various activities and lifestyles. By merging aesthetics with functionality, we envision a space that not only enhances the visual appeal of the property but also enriches their overall living experience.
