Park Ridge Residence

The clients have a large extended family and believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen. Their main goal was to create a welcoming and inviting space where family and friends could gather comfortably, with room for at least 12 around the kitchen table. To achieve this, we designed a new one-story rear addition facing the pool, dedicated to the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen now opens directly to the backyard, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing a strong visual connection to the outdoors.

We maintained the connection to the formal dining room and stair hall, but reduced their size to prioritize a more spacious cooking zone. The increased glazing across the rear required careful consideration of sunlight control, so we incorporated automated blinds discreetly hidden in a small ceiling valence.

Additionally, we repurposed an underutilized den space at the front of the house as a dedicated “Tasting Room.” This serves as an entertaining area showcasing the clients’ love of wine and spirits. Custom cabinetry, shelving, and a central tasting table with a leathered stone top were incorporated. Herringbone hardwood flooring wraps up the walls as an accent, with a built-in bench below. A custom window light box with shelving was created to display bottles and increase ambient light from the foyer. Decorative lighting and wallpaper were selected to add an extra layer of sophistication to the space.
