Modern Kitchen Expansion

A Kitchen Remodel For A Growing Family

We expanded this kitchen in the Hawthorne neighborhood, using some of the home’s garage space, to create a vibrant, open-concept cooking haven. The renovation focused on maximizing storage, improving workflow, and incorporating distinctive green design elements. The result perfectly balances the homeowners’ passion for cooking with their love of entertaining.

Project Goals

This Portland kitchen remodel addressed a dated space that no longer served a growing family’s cooking and entertaining needs. By creatively repurposing garage space, the team expanded the kitchen without altering the home’s external footprint.

Strategic layout changes included relocating the range and refrigerator to improve workflow, while an unconventionally-shaped island maximizes counter space. A window bench adds cozy seating, and open shelving displays the homeowners’ cookbook collection.

Unique Features

Key features include:

Custom inset cabinetry by Knight Cabinetry with specialty storage solutions
Durable Dekton countertops for active cooking
Striking green Bedrosian tile backsplash
Modern induction range and stainless appliances
Innovative trash pull-outs and rollout shelves

The transformed space now serves as a contemporary culinary haven where the family can comfortably cook and entertain, with the open layout fostering natural connection between kitchen and dining areas.
