AUSTIN, TEXAS
This 1970s hillside estate in Austin under-
went a stunning kitchen transformation.
The remodel modernized the space while
preserving its original charm. Raising the
ceiling to 12 feet and removing dividing
walls created an open layout, while new
windows and a glass door connected the
kitchen to greenbelt views and brought in
natural light. The design blends modern
and transitional styles, featuring Shaker
cabinets, white oak accents, and a bold
green island. Luxe gold fixtures and a
handmade forest-green tile backsplash
add elegance, making this kitchen the
heart of the home.

MADISON, WISCONSIN
Built in 1966 by a local architect influenced by
Frank Lloyd Wright's organic design principles,
this home's remodel prioritized respecting its
original character. Nestled in a wooded area
frequented by deer and wild turkey, the design
aimed to enhance the connection with nature,
utilizing three exterior walls and a new roof while
incorporating wood and earth tones. The kitchen's
layout, confined by a limestone wall and setbacks,
limited expansion options, so the design focused
on adding appliances, optimizing storage, and
increasing sociability within the existing footprint.
The project successfully improved the cooking
experience and functionality for entertaining.
