Vision:
This home in Potomac, Maryland once exuded a dark and outdated look, with a design that felt small and inefficient. There was a limited number of windows that failed to capture the beauty of the backyard, leaving the space feeling enclosed and homeowners experiencing a sense of claustrophobia. While addressing the need for improvement, there was also a desire for a more inviting and seamless transition from the kitchen area to the deck. The homeowners have young children and this kitchen and deck remodel needed to better suit their family's lifestyle; making sure there was enough space to invite family and friends over for get-togethers. By crafting a brighter and more expansive atmosphere within the space, the homeowners were eager to fall back in love with their home again.
