Same Space, Dazzling New Kitchen

Jamie and Mark Markoe's initial thoughts were to build a substantial addition to their 1970's colonial house to gain a larger kitchen, new family room, sunroom, laundry, and entry. While their home had the right location, they felt it lacked the character, openness, and light-filled spaces they desired. After examining each space and function, architect Rosemary McMonigal discovered the best solution was to reorganize the layout of the home, rather than build an addition. Once the flow and space functions were met, the design focused on transforming the existing house to more classic details and aesthetic solutions.
