Laurel Canyon

Circa "1939" art-deco canyon bungalow. Home's original kitchen had been replaced sometime in the 1980's with modest appointments. Client/Friends had asked to meet, to reach some restoration decision regarding, their lack of cabinet space, no formal laundry area and a dysfunctional guest bath. This historic home, had one art-deco trademark, that repeated in almost every room. The subtle, soothing, classic 1939 curved walls. We came to a decision to leave the curved interior wall intact. But, in order to open the space, vault the existing 8 ft. ceiling to 12 ft. and punching a 3ft. by 5ft. opening in the curved wall. This tied the kitchen, dining and living spaces together. This is a classic, timeless kitchen, now flooded with natural light, restaurant grade appliances and clean carrera marble countertops.
