The owners of this countryside home wanted to preserve its unassuming cottage identity, while rethinking the flow and layout to better serve their family's lifestyle. 

​

The dining zone was reconfigured for more efficient circulation, and the kitchen was optimized for casual entertaining, now fully connected to living and dining areas. 

​

The kitchen palette was carefully considered, drawing inspirations from Shaker kitchens. The cabinet color and metal finishes, the backsplash and countertop are all deliberately understated from afar but provide tactile delight up close.
