Whole House Remodel
The old dining room was closed off to the kitchen by a single, narrow cafe door. We constructed two 48" wide pocket doors to connect the two rooms now, and allow for a better traffic flow. The architect, Martina Lorey, designed these doors without any sort of casing around them, so the drywall simply returns back into the door opening for a cleaner look. This was a very difficult detail to execute, but it was worth it. The chandelier over the dining table is the only fixture in the entire house that was reused. The clients were friends with the previous owners so it is a nod to them, and it ties in well with the brass hardware on the buffet. Photography by Brian Wancho.
