The existing kitchen offered plenty of character but lacked unity and flow. Disconnected cabinetry and dated finishes made the space feel compartmentalized and dim. The homeowners wanted a space that honored the mountain home’s warmth but introduced a modern level of craftsmanship and connectivity.

Preserving the natural character of the space while improving function was the core challenge. The redesign needed to harmonize old-world materials with new lighting, surfaces, and layout—creating a kitchen that could transition effortlessly between family living and entertaining.
