Home Portfolio My Services Contact Me My Story

  

 Where we live.  Where we play. Where life is sustained. We all need to eat!  Why not do it in a place we can call "HOME"?  

 

 

VISUAL IMPACT

A rather traditional kitchen. However, the unique presentation really helps the client appreciate the concept and it's small details with the appropiate space planning.

COLOR WITH WATER

Artistic Water coloring of kitchen concept. Just a simple example of adding an artistic touch to a basic concept.

ENVISION THE CONCEPT

Bringing that "different" perspective to a concept can really assist in conveying the designer's vision.

ENVISION WITH COLOR

Taking a little extra time and investment into a concept can really bring the idea to life.

Traditional Kitchen

A traditional design with attention to detail. Notice the step out detail of the crowns and the flutes. The fien detail of the mullions and the casting of shadows. Even the impact of the corner freestanding hood is easily expressed by this presentation.

Showcasing the impact of a built-in hutch/pantry. What would have been a vague boring pantry is now an heirloom furniture accent to a traditional kitchen.

Creative boxes

Accenting the basic kitchen with the bold changes in Height and Depth, setting apart the usual design from the unique.

Artistic Views

This project was rendered to assist in the "INITIAL" space planning stage. The client wants to get a feel for the flow and the them, but isn't at the point of selecting the details. Artistic concept renderings quick'n the process.

NICE VIEW

A great view to help a client "Feel" the flow of the space. Hand drawn style rendering

THE REST OF THE STORY

Clients and Designers often neglect the "other side" of the kitchen. In this case, much though was given in how to incorporate a long wish list of needs and wants. An eating area, two computer stations, an entertainment unit, and a traditional family heirloom all neede to go in one very small space...

THE OTHER SIDE

Another view of the other side, second work area in galley kitchen with the option of a second sink prep area.

OVER THE TOP

Contrast sometimes is what is needed to drive home a design concept. Yellow cabinets? Really?

DID YOU NOTICE?

Sometimes even those little details like the steps or the shadow casting across the floor are what brings even a simple concept to life.
