Kitchen Design - Elfin Forest

This Kitchen in Elfin Forest, was a fun collaboration I was asked to be a part of. The clients were wanting to design their kitchen and realized quickly that they needed help. The contractor on the job recommended our firm come in to help and called us in. We met with the clients and it was s match made in heaven.

They needed help with space planning and the flow of the kitchen. I’m an expert in my field so this was something that we could do for them. It only took a few days but the final design was exactly what they were looking for. I opened up the wall to make a great room, added in french doors to gain access to the outside deck, I gave them a large working island, as well as a functional kitchen that worked for their family of 6.

After we finished designing it was handed back to the GC and the vision was created. The clients even asked if I could use their existing lighting which we installed over the island . They also asked to use the existing appliances . I always consider this, but also educate my clients in the pros and cons of using existing appliances. In this case the refrigerator and oven were only a few years old so we kept them.

The clients home was designed as transitional but they loved modern design. So I designed the kitchen in a simple and sleek manner. It brought the home together as well as their style . The lines are very clean even down to the custom oven hood.

This was a fun project and we loved being a part of it. Unfortunately these are the only 3 finished pictures we have and it was while construction was wrapping up. See below for some finished pictures, a few of the 3D designs we created, as well as a few before pictures.

Railings & Tile

This ground level penthouse in Downtown San Diego was an amazing two story space. We were happy in the collaboration of the custom railing that helped separate the sunken living room that leads you to the outside patio. We also had fun designing the tile that was throughout the kitchen and bathrooms.

Encinitas New Build

This was an amazing home to add on to as it sat up on a hill with a perfect Ocean View. We added a second story on top of the garage to accommodate the families oldest son. The new bedroom had a full sleeping area, gaming area, walk in custom closet, as well as a custom bathroom. The design concept was completely custom and one where we used soapstone material as well as granite, and other unique material. Every element of the room was taken into consideration to appeal to the families wants and needs. The fun aspect was building a catwalk to get to the bedroom as the ceilings were 20 feet high.

We also re-design the stairway with a new railing system, as well as removing all the old carpet and adding on luxury warm wood. The stairway wall was installed using custom wallpaper to capture the light of the one of a kind crystal chandelier.

Even the living room, family room, and kitchen were re-designed, along with the master closet and their daughters room getting a makeover. Every element in this home was thought of even down to the new pivot custom front door. The home is unique and every aspect of design and build was a luxury custom design and with the family in mind.
