ALAIR HOMES GREEN BAY; DE PERE, WI
The goal of this new custom kitchen was to maximize natural light and views. The kitchen is the heart of the home and there is no shortage of space to entertain with two islands featuring custom cabinetry and quartz tops. The photos show the seamless transition to the pantry – hidden, yet easy access as it wraps around the perimeter. The quartz tops extend to the windows acting as the sill. The tile backsplash adds texture and depth. It’s certainly a place family and friends will want to gather.
2. Mike Howe Builders Inc.; Manitowoc, wi
Owner’s goal, as a baker, was to increase space and functionality for baking and entertaining. Working within the limitations of the existing yard, Mike Howe Builders determined an expansion size of 185 square feet and re-envisioned the layout of the galley kitchen. The old kitchen was torn out and expanded to double its original size, including an island and peninsula, featuring a mix-master that pops out of the island cabinet for baking. A walk-in pantry was added. The design cleverly captures natural light from one end of the house to the other. Previously, the dining table was in the living room and now the family can dine at the peninsula. With the extra space gained and efficient layout, a first floor bathroom was able to be added. This project was not without challenges. Original framing was not sufficient, so beams and headers had to be added. The family is very happy!
