NKBA Student Contest
Portland, OR
I entered this project into the NKBA Student Contest while in college, and have since revisited it to make revisions.
Check out the before:
Our guidelines were that this was a family home with an avid chef. She wanted lots of storage, and a place to entertain.
I knew I wanted to push the envelope, so I eliminated the L-shaped kitchen and reconfigured it.
The “before” floor plan is pictured.
Apart from the island and the cabinetry, I kept the rest of the floor plan intact, such as the pantry location.
I elongated the window in the kitchen to give it more natural light, and to create a statement piece.
By adding storage to the right, I was able to keep a clean and functional space for the mother to cook in.
