The 2005 Aurora Award was received
by PSG Construction for the renovation of a kitchen in a home on
Lake Charity in Maitland.
The renovation that used the
existing space to create an exciting and highly efficient space,
received the award in conjunction with the Southeast Building Conference held
in July, 2005. The project was selected from entries in the
category for Remodeling, Renovation, or Historical Restoration.
The kitchen of the 50's ranch had been remodeled in the 70's but
was in great need of updating. The homeowners felt the kitchen
was uninspiring in layout and design. They also wanted to open
it up to the rest of the house.
Shaker-style cabinetry finished in
natural cherry, black granite countertops and stainless steel
appliances created a sleek transformation. Slate used at the
front entry and foyer was carried inside and repeated on the
kick space of the raised bar.
A raised ceiling and recessed
lighting replace the outdated dropped ceiling and fluorescent
lighting and make the kitchen look larger. The raised bar with
pendant lights overhead help separate the kitchen from the great
room without visually closing it off. PSG |
