02 MID-ATLANTIC, MID-CENTURY
DESIGN CONCEPT
Functionality, clean lines, and simplicity are the focus of this design. The midcentury modern style contemporizes, while acknowledging the existing midcentury architecture and characteristics of the home. The removal of the southeast wall creates a more inviting atmosphere upon entry, and allows in more natural light. Pops of color contrasted with muted neutrals create a balanced interior. Integrated appliances are chosen for a modern, architectural look.
THE OBJECTIVE
Design a kitchen and bath remodel based upon the NKBA 2023-2024 student design competition entry packet. Considerations are as follows;
• The southwest wall is structural and cannot be moved/altered
• The kitchen is frequently used with two people cooking simultaneously
• The bath is high traffic and is shared between the family of four
Client preferences:
• A kitchen island to seat four
• A large soaking tub in the bath
