The client approached Hirshson Architecture to resolve a divided floor plan resulting from a series of additions to a modern, 1950’s ranch. The resulting plan expanded the kitchen footprint creating a breakfast room with vaulted ceilings. The kitchen includes a picture window overlooking a new bluestone patio and adjacent elevated deck. The kitchen features a wall of dark cabinetry juxtaposed with light millwork at the perimeter of the space. A center island with waterfall quartz tops provides seating for three. A double-sided peninsula allows for serving food and drinks to guests in the dining and family rooms. A relocated powder room features a marble mosaic on the floor, floating stone sink, and a dramatic wallcovering. Throughout, mixed metals, wood finishes, and stones pay homage to the sophistication of the original 1950’s design.
