About this Project

The owners of this historic Minneapolis home felt their original kitchen was cramped and outdated. Therefore, they wanted a contemporary/transitional feeling space that would accommodate frequent entertaining.

Confined within the existing footprint, an open-plan concept was developed to unify the kitchen and family room. Stainless steel shelves spanning between the sink island and walls, maintain the open design and establish a visual link and interaction between the kitchen and family room.

The original dining nook was converted into a butler pantry, now fully equipped with a sink, dishwasher and icemaker. Full height sliding doors enclose the space when necessary.

Island seating allows for simple mealtimes for this family of four. An oversized stainless steel refrigerator, multi-function ovens, warming drawer and downdraft cook top meet the demands of this Minneapolis family for any occasion.
