Rockville, MD - Kitchen Remodel

Brief Explanation of the Scope of Work

This custom kitchen project was a collaborative effort with a familiar kitchen designer. The homeowners wanted a contemporary kitchen with clean lines, excellent appliances, improved storage, a desk, a pantry area and a new breakfast bar area. The goal was to integrate a variety finishes including stone, wood, glass, tile and stainless steel. However, the layout was excellent and we only added a breakfast bar to the island feature. The existing kitchen was predominantly white which reminded the homeowner, an orthodontist, too much of her workplace environment when in her kitchen.

Unusual Constraints/Challenges & Creative Solutions

This was our first project in over 15 years of business where the homeowner wanted to integrate glass into areas of their kitchen other than door fronts. Collaborating with the designer and our glass specialist, we created a curved ¾” glass flyover breakfast bar mounted to a stone island top. This required special chrome hardware and carefully frosting the bottom of the glass to accent the natural lead green color. We also worked with our glass specialist to craft frosted ¼ inch glass back splashes. Notice the stainless steel grommets; cover plates and special order “sea foam green” electrical devices.

Overall Results

The customer selecting specific slabs of stone months before they were needed created another challenge. Understanding exactly how the stone counter business works and having an excellent stone fabricator enabled us to make sure the customer was completely satisfied with their kitchen countertops.
