Oakland Kitchen/Living Room Conversion

Working with longtime construction partner, HDR Remodeling, Roberts Electric was the electrical contractor on this Oakland project, which won a 2017 REMMIE award. Today’s casual lifestyles mean that architects and homeowners are getting more creative, coming up with new ways to transform their living spaces to create more livable spaces. In this renovation, the open concept and more casual dining experience were achieved by swapping the large dining room and the smaller kitchen. The now-larger kitchen opens up to the living room at one end, and features beautiful French doors to the backyard at the other. The smaller dining space provides a more casual dining experience without sacrificing the functionality of a formal dining room for larger family gatherings. Fun fact: The Kichler pendants over the island and dining table have since become some of the top-trending lighting fixtures sold on Build.com.
