Rebuilding memories
This new build replaced a dearly loved old cottage that had cedar lined rooms, antiques and heirlooms. The overall goal for the new build was to create a retreat that has warmth and character, where new memories could be made for decades to come. This photo of the kitchen is just one room that's a testament to the overall success of the project.
The most loved antiques and heirlooms are still part of the family. The carefully designed interiors are new wood, mostly cedar but there are traces of reclaimed wood from the old structure in some areas. The design of the cabinetry includes elements that reflect older pieces. The pantry is in the form of a 'flat to the wall', cutout kicks have a furniture feel, the island is a new version of a vintage butcher block.
