These Monmouth County homeowners are ready to transform their kitchen into a space fit for gourmet cooking. To accomodate this transition, they demolished their existing kitchen and added an addition. They hired Design Build Planners to create a luxury kitchen design.

The addition off the kitchen is to go out approximately 10′ and across 17′. Inside the kitchen, a four seat island, beverage center, prep sink, skyline style cabinets, amongst other items were added. Furthermore, the deck and patio area was to be redone.

Listed below is the scope of the gourmet kitchen remodel.

The homeowners style preferences were for a modern look and finishes. They drew their inspiration from kitchen projects featured on Houzz.com. The design options are a result of homeowners online research combined with an in-home consultation with Design Build Planners. There is also a proprietary profile checklist that homeowners fill out that depicts their lifestyle and kitchen use. After compiling this information, Design Build Planners incorporates their construction knowledge and design creativity for the space with a focus on the budget and overall investment.
