Artist's Statement
This charming 1895 bungalow remodel in Colorado Springs focuses on honoring the historical Craftsman style while modernizing the space to suit Lydia's needs. A retired professor of Anthropology, Lydia enjoys hosting old colleagues and shares the home with her precious Labrador Retrievers. To enhance the kitchen’s functionality, we entirely reworked the layout, swapping the kitchen and office spaces. This change not only increased square footage but also created an open-concept design perfect for cooking and entertaining. Above the Fisher & Paykel range stovetop, a pot filler has been installed to easily fill pots with water, particularly helpful for large pots to prevent spills and reduce strain from lifting. Another
standout feature is the Fisher & Paykel double DishDrawer
dishwasher, offering two independent drawers for smaller loads and an ergonomic design that’s mindful of aging. The color palette combines cool wood tones with navy blue cabinetry, creating a stylish and functional atmosphere. In conclusion, this kitchen design blends practicality, elegance, and comfort, making it an ideal space for both daily use and entertaining. With a focus on layout, storage, and ease of use, it creates a seamless environment that caters to both practical needs and aesthetic desires.
