Finalist – Custom Kitchens, GOHBA Interior Design Awards 2011
Our clients wanted the kitchen renovations to have a room that sparkles like a jewel. The problem was that at only 100 square feet, it was one of the smallest rooms we have worked with in a long time. The key was to create a 54 inch opening into the room. This ‘steals’ space from the hallway and gives the kitchen a more spacious feeling.
In addition, the new floor of the kitchen was extended into the hall and to the front door. The large expanse of counter between the cook top and ovens doubles as a breakfast counter that enjoys the view of the garden. This blended with the soothing colour pallet of neutral cabinets and tiles and complemented the soft lighting and modern accents in furniture.
“After consultation with several kitchen designers that were uninspiring we selected Friedemann Weinhardt of Design First to update our kitchen. His obvious vision and enthusiasm for the project was the deciding factor in choosing him. He modernized our small cramped kitchen and opened it up so that it flowed seamlessly into the rest of our heritage home. His attention to detail was flawless and he was diligent about helping us to stay on budget while gently persuading us to accept his professional advice. The work was completed on schedule and on budget by very qualified professionals who cleaned up every evening before they left. We are very satisfied clients who would use Friedemann for any future project and have no hesitation in recommending Design First to others.”
