The space was poorly lit and had a variety of outdated materials all incorporated into a disjointed composition. Our goal was to, simplify and tie together disparate structure and architectural elements while providing a natural palette of materials.

A painted slatted wood ceiling in the kitchen and dining areas that turns up creates a screen and rail for the home office. The purpose was two-fold: to hide existing duct work, sprinkler pipes and electrical conduit and to act as a unifying design element between the first and second levels.

White oak cabinetry is another element that employs this strategy, visually connecting kitchen, dining and second level home office.
