About This Project

The Homeowner's Challenge

The homeowners wanted to modernize their first floor with a contemporary kitchen that better suited the way they live and entertain. Their existing layout felt compartmentalized, limiting both functionality and the connection between the kitchen and surrounding living spaces. They also wanted a more efficient workflow, increased storage, and a cohesive design throughout the main level. 

Hurst's Approach

Hurst Design Build Remodel reconfigured the first-floor layout to create a more open and connected living environment. The kitchen was redesigned around a large central island, with appliances and plumbing relocated to improve workflow and maximize functionality. Custom cabinetry, premium finishes, new lighting, and updated flooring were paired with architectural improvements throughout the adjoining spaces to create a clean, contemporary aesthetic. 

Key Design Features

  • Custom Mullet cabinetry with clean contemporary styling and integrated organizational accessories 
  • Large island topped with Cambria Inverness Bronze Matte quartz, providing generous prep space and seating 
  • Professional Thermador appliance suite including refrigerator, freezer, oven, dishwasher, beverage refrigerator, and induction cooktop, paired with a Fisher & Paykel microwave and Faber range hood 
  • Blanco sink with California Faucets fixtures, including a pot filler, soap dispenser, and disposal air switch 
  • Mercier engineered hardwood flooring in a herringbone pattern with heated floor underlayment 
  • Top Knobs cabinet hardware, Anderson windows, and a Sherwin Williams color palette that complements the home’s modern aesthetic 
  • Layered lighting including recessed, task, accent, and decorative fixtures throughout the kitchen and adjoining spaces 
  • Custom butler’s pantry and built-in storage that enhance both functionality and entertaining  

Outcome

The completed remodel delivers a sophisticated contemporary kitchen that serves as the centerpiece of the home. Clean lines, high–performance appliances, custom storage, and thoughtfully selected finishes create a space that is equally functional for everyday living and ideal for entertaining, while the updated first floor provides a seamless flow between each living area.
