Meridian-Kessler Kitchen & Family Room
A 1920s Tudor kitchen opened to the family room with period-honest millwork and a 10-foot marble island.
The existing kitchen was closed off from the family room by a load-bearing wall and a warren of back-of-house spaces — a butler's pantry the owners never used, a mudroom that caught every bag, and a breakfast nook too small to seat four.
Our design opened the footprint by 40% without touching the home's historic front elevation. A new structural beam replaced the dividing wall, a true scullery was carved out behind the range wall, and a ten-foot island now anchors the whole first floor.
Custom inset cabinetry in hand-rubbed oil paint, unlacquered brass hardware, and a single slab of Calacatta Vagli honed for the island. Every cabinet was drawn from scratch and built locally.
