Innovative Home Revamp Brings Cheerful Delight into Kitchen and Bathroom

ByMyProperty Life

A smart kitchen and dining area is undoubtedly the heart and soul of the open modern home and it is the space that drives all the activities inside the house while bringing together the entire family. This of course means that homes with a much older layout and growing needs of modern families are ill-equipped to handle all the load. Revamped in some style by Klopf Architecture, this family house in Lafayette, California is one such gorgeous example of a residence that was carefully and cleverly upgraded to give its kitchen, living room, dining area and bathrooms a whole new lease of life.

Custom cabinetry from Henrybuilt used to revamp the kitchen delightfully

Though it was only the kitchen and the bathrooms that were extensively redone, their impact can be found in the rest of the house of as well. The kitchen now flows into living room and the dining space next to it with oak floors giving these spaces a warm, cozy appeal. It is custom cabinetry from Henrybuilt that makes a big impact in the seemingly sleek and contemporary kitchen with a heavy dose of midcentury modern flavor. This theme continues in the living area and the bathrooms as well with a flood of natural light being brought in by smartly placed windows and skylights. [Photography: Scott Maddern]

  • W72nd Penthouse

    Located in the historic Oliver Cromwell Building, The W72nd penthouse inhabits the top three floors of the historic building in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. With commanding views of Central Park, it’s an awe-inspiring refuge from the frenetic pace of NYC. The clients, a financier and a tech entrepreneur, one from Pakistan and the other a Detroit native, longed for a cozy retreat to counterbalance their busy lifestyle. The fusion of two cultural backgrounds are apparent in the mixtures of textiles and material selections throughout the home. With two growing daughters and a steady stream of houseguests, the project aimed to accommodate their family as well as act as a secluded shelter away from city life. The space is first met with a glimpse of a stunning oak herringbone floors and steel circular staircase that connects all three floors and serves as the central backbone of the space. Facing the staircase is the main floor living and dining area perfectly framed as the home’s first introduction to the space. The area showcases an eclectic art collection and a library for the voracious literary appetite of the homeowners along with objects of curiosity from the client’s travels. Instantly eye-catching is the dining area which features a stunning dining table and leather chairs and flanked by a banquette covered with a custom Suki Cheema textile. Adjacent is a small media room punctuated by a bright red Ligne Roset couch. The tiered floor plates provided a challenge for maximizing space as each level gets increasingly smaller as you go up. The design team began to think like a shipwright to design unexpected built-ins that evoke the feeling of being in a sailboat in the sky. On the second floor, up the oak and steel staircase, is small office, a bedroom with two beds in a unique head-to-toe configuration surrounded by figured maple built-in storage looking to the prominent views of the penthouse’s towering over Manhattan. Also, on the second floor is a bathroom, a small kitchenette, and a gracious balcony that continues to overlook to the busy cityscape below. The open spaces of the circular stairwell continue up to the third-floor feature integrated fire shutters that slide down to create privacy for the whole second floor. Continuing up the stairs is a generous master bedroom and master bath. The master bathroom is class wall to wall in hand- made colored Moroccan tile juxtaposed with modern fixtures and fittings.
