As design to build professionals, we are often called on to design creative solutions to work around pre-existing issues in a home. We love a great design challenge!
In this recent renovation we worked on for a developer, there was a 3’x16″x16″ bump in the kitchen that was hiding a basement Bilco door.
While the previous owners used it as a bench, Tam created a grand bar with a microwave and storage area to fit the awkward space. As you can see from these sketches, all of the elements — including a finished panel — work together so thoughtfully that no one notices the unsightly bump.
That’s what we call an effective and creative design solution!
