Lake View East Remodel

Per the owners’ request, the dining room was enlarged at the expense of the kitchen. Being avid cooks however, they still required a viable and efficient workspace. Painted panels slide open like the doors of an oversized armoire to reveal a kitchen rendered in hard reflective materials: stainless steel, etched glass, polished and honed granite. The floor plan was reconfigured into two opposing L-shaped workspaces, through which light could fill the room’s interior.

A beach theme – inspired by the condo’s dramatic views of Lake Michigan – is introduced by the living room, which features a floor of porcelain sand tiles and columns with ebony-stained oak veneers. This same theme continues in the bathroom’s use of honed limestone and rain-textured glass.
