A functional addition

This remodel of an existing 1980s era kitchen included the addition of a three-car garage and the reconfiguration of the existing two-car garage into a guest room and a media room. The new kitchen configuration emphasized openness and the ability to have communal cooking as well as easier interaction between the kitchen and adjacent spaces.

Key Features

  • Remodel of existing home, reducing new material consumption
  • Installation of tankless water heaters to reduce energy consumption
  • New Energy Star light fixtures and appliances
  • Garage moved outside of the home’s footprint to reduce noise, fire risk and contaminant infiltration
