PROBLEM: After 4 years occupancy, the owners of this Fairfax Station (VA) circa 2000 center hall Colonial had gradually identified a series of problems with both the functionality and aesthetics of the existing 21’ x 23’ kitchen as follows: existing floorplan is poorly rationalized and incohesive relative to appliance placements, work triangle requirements and even

The transformation in this kitchen is dramatic.

This large townhouse kitchen had enough space, but the homeowners did not like the configuration and there was interrupted flow by a peninsula that cut off the traffic to the deck, which they used often for cooking out.
