OVERCOMING OBSTACLES
During this project, we encountered several unique challenges. One involved overhauling the space layout due to an issue with the hood vent. The previous exhaust hood was installed through the ceiling, resulting in excessive noise in the homeowner's son's room whenever it was used. To address this problem, our design team completely redesigned the layout of the appliances. We relocated the stove and hood vent to one of the kitchen walls and redirected the venting system. As a result, the son's room on the second floor was no longer affected by the noise. Additionally, this allowed us to move other appliances, such as the refrigerator, to a more suitable location that improved the flow and functionality of the room.
Another obstacle involved rearranging and relocating various kitchen components without needing to shift or eliminate any of the current windows. To achieve this, the kitchen sink was retained in its original position, along with the sliding glass door that opens onto the back porch, situated to the right of the new refrigerator. This allowed the kitchen to maintain its aesthetic appeal and be illuminated by ample natural light.
