KITCHEN RENOVATION: HUCKLEBERRY
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
This kitchen was dark, closed off, outdated & non-functional. If you were in the kitchen, you were nowhere else. We opened up the floorplan to create a more spacious and bright living space and tied the living/dining/kitchen rooms together. This created a warm and inviting family gathering area and pulled home out of the 1980’s and into the 2018’s.
North Vancouver kitchen renovation designed and built by Sprucehill Contracting Inc.
Design & Renovation details:
- Eliminated one window and worked with existing kitchen sink window.
- Worked with existing floor space, no costly additions
- Installed a large beam and relocated carried point loads to bearing to remove central structural wall
- Created island to eat at, incorporated old nook space for kitchen space
- Balanced darker floors with lighter cabinets and countertops
