This kitchen renovation was approached as a fully integrated design-build project, with the island serving as the central organizing element of the space. The layout required careful planning and coordination to accommodate a centrally located exhaust vent above the island while preserving an open, balanced floor plan. Our team managed the design, structural planning, and mechanical integration to ensure the ventilation system performed efficiently without disrupting sightlines or circulation. The finished kitchen highlights the benefits of a design-build process—seamless collaboration, precise execution, and a functional, well-resolved space that supports both everyday use and entertaining.
