Kitchen · Case study
Brookside · Kansas City, MO
A closed-off 1940s galley kitchen opened into the dining room, with custom cabinetry, a quartz island, and the wiring and plumbing rerun to modern code.

The scope
This Brookside home had a cramped, walled-off kitchen original to the 1940s build — great light, terrible flow. We took down the load-bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room (adding a flush beam so the ceiling stayed clean), designed a working island with seating, ran new dedicated circuits and relocated the plumbing, and finished it with custom cabinetry, quartz counters, and a hand-set tile backsplash. The owners kept the character of the house and finally got a kitchen the whole family fits in.
