This mid century modern home in Portland, OR featured a unique kitchen situated between two wings of the house. The kitchen was essentially hallway between the master bedroom and the dining room. Mosaik Design took on a remodel of this aging kitchen and brought it up to date with modern appliances and cabinetry in a mid century theme. I really like this view we took, because seeing the outdoors is a big part of what makes this kitchen so great. In some ways, it redefines what it means to have an open kitchen.
