This residential project represents a thoughtful and harmonious blend of modern function, unique character, and rich heritage. What was originally a cigar room, an intimate and storied space, was expertly crafted into this family’s kitchen, pulling the heart-of-the-home adjacent to the main living area. The nod to history is further emphasized by the meticulous matching of the original paneling, which was unable to be saved in the process. The blend of old and new creates a seamless narrative between the home’s past and present. The original kitchen was transformed into a mudroom, laundry, and powder room combination to add ease to the everyday chaos.
