Architecturally Refined - Kitchen Transformation

 

A restrictive floor plan transformed into a sophisticated, expansive, multi-zone kitchen where light, movement, and modern design converge.  

A space that feels as exceptional as it's functions

 

Designed for a passionate chef and wife - an upscale space where function meets calm; and where, in the owners’ words, “prepping food is now so relaxing.”  

 

Experiential Success - Our client's view

 

"After moving into our townhome in 2013, we knew the kitchen layout and powder room placement didn’t make the best use of the space. Fast forward 11+ years when we were finally ready to renovate, finding the right partner was critical.

Chris Ely quickly proved to be that partner. Drawing on his background as a builder, he helped us completely reimagine nearly 800 square feet - transforming a disconnected kitchen, dining room, hallway, and powder room into a cohesive, highly functional design. Through multiple design iterations and detailed, photo-realistic renderings, we were able to clearly visualize the end result before construction even began.

 

Equally valuable was Chris’s technical expertise. His comprehensive pre-construction plans - precise electrical, lighting, and plumbing layouts - kept every phase aligned and on track.  He also guided us through selecting cabinetry, countertops, appliances, with trusted vendors; and key to the project’s success, helped us secure the right general contractor to execute the work.

 

The result is a beautifully integrated space that far exceeds what we thought possible. Chris brought clarity, structure, creativity, and a commitment to excellence to our complex renovation and delivered on every detail. We could not have done this without Chris. We're already planning to use his services for several future renovations in our home."
