JOHNSON KITCHEN

Kitchen Design I NKBA Guidelines

Concept

The Johnson family’s kitchen remodel is going to embrace the home’s mid-century roots while taking design risks by incorporating a playful color palette while keeping the home’s original characteristics intact.

Design Requirements

• This small but efficient kitchen will employ various space saving techniques to maximize the floor plan and increase the utilization of the kitchen’s footprint. More countertop space, the addition of a fold away table with seating for four people, a peninsula with seating, and the addition of a dishwasher will satisfy the wants of the family while increasing the productivity of the kitchen.

• The repetition of the mid-century color palette will unite the kitchen with the other spaces in the home as well as harmonize with the home’s original mid-century architecture. The tile, cabinet materials, lighting, and countertops will complement the overall aesthetic of the room.

• Reusing the family’s modern art collection and utilizing vintage inspired lighting will bring in personalized touches as well as a layer of patina that only vintage pieces can provide. Natural light will be maximized to cut down on electrical usage during daytime hours. Great care will be taken to reuse and repurpose any original trim or flooring salvaged during the demolition.

Materials were selected for their durability and ability to blend with existing materials.

· This small but efficient bathroom will employ various space saving techniques to maximize the floor plan and increase the utilization of the bathroom’s footprint. A large soaking tub and shower combination, a floating vanity for easy cleaning and a lot of countertop space, and a toilet room will be added to satisfy the wants of the family while increasing the productivity of this high traffic bathroom.
