Ann Arbor, Michigan

Subject: Large custom built 1980’s ranch overlooking acres of rolling horse pastures.

Storyline: During the day, our client is a husband and wife team with a professional practice in town.  At night they like to spend quality time ‘in the country’  honing their culinary skills together.

Challenge: Their home was a conundrum of the 1980’s …. dark kitchen reminiscent of the mid-1980’s with elements of the contemporary late 1980’s.  The kitchen was dysfunctional and drab.    “… prior to working with Terry and Joel, other Designers would only recommended replacing the cabinets we have with new ones …”

Solution: We began the project with a clean slate.  We removed the soffits, relocated several door openings and prepared for professional grade appliances.  For storage we raised the wall cabinets to the ceiling, provided a built in pantry with 100 pound capacity interior drawers, and included many large base drawer cabinets.  We accomplished our goal of providing a working kitchen for two.
