The young clients wanted to update their boring, cookie-cutter tract home kitchen and living room to better suit their active, entertaining lifestyle. For the kitchen, a new island was added for seating and work space. Existing cabinets were redone to match the island. Stainless steel, granite, and venetian plaster finishes gave the space a contemporary edge. The living room was transformed into an adult playroom with a custom pool table and fireplace, continuing design elements and finishes from the kitchen to create a cohesive look throughout the lower floor.

12. Living Room The Design Problem The Clients’ new tract-home Living Room was ‘cookie-cutter’ boring and not suited to their fun-loving, active lifestyle. The Design Solution For these young & hip clients, a new Adult Playroom with contemporary finishes was designed & built by this firm’s team. A new angled granite fireplace surround was designed and fabricated with mitered edges on all sides giving the effect of a solid block of stone. The custom maple & stainless steel pool table repeats elements used elsewhere in the home. The custom redesigned display niche reflects the 20’ high Venetian plaster wall & leads into the Playroom. Clear maple floors flow throughout this space and the rest of the lower floor. It’s not just the color palette that’s ‘Cool’ in this space!
