A beautiful Tudor home in South Orange, New Jersey, was in dire need of a bowel rehabilitation: good bones, but not much else to write home about. But a prime location and a large crowd was enough to win over our customers. Creating a contemporary space was the goal, but we also had the task of keeping the original Tudor style and keeping an eye on the idyllic neighborhood.

We started the project by modeling the kitchen and bathroom. An outdated kitchen was restricted by a breakfast nook and strange walls. So we gutted all of the interior walls, which opened up the space dramatically.

With a sprawling blank board, we started building the kitchen and bathrooms with a gray and white palette that highlighted the original style of the house. The balance between the original and contemporary elements of the space has been achieved through dark cabinets in the kitchen and wooden furniture in the bathroom on the ground floor. White tiles create a contrasting color scheme that accompanies the more contemporary elements.

These master chefs also wanted a kitchen in which they could conjure up a homemade meal. And so the room had to be very functional.
