HOME + LIVING
Trzynka and Marshall’s existing kitchen had low ceilings with soffits, three windows, and four doors. The space was large and had many points of entry, creating obstacles during the design process. The couple mentioned the renovation could include removing a window, which Trygstad typically avoids, but found the benefits outweighed the loss. A butler’s pantry was also suggested by the client, but the new kitchen was more functional as one large open space with separate, defined areas. “This made the kitchen function like separate spaces, while still giving room for a nice, big island, work zones, and walkways,” said Trygstad. The original kitchen space was 10 feet by 17 feet with soffits down to eight feet. After carving out the dropped ceiling, the design team was able to bring the cabinets to 9’6” tall, with a 15-inch-deep coffer.
