Sherman Heights Kitchen

Kitchen renovation for a 'Stick Style Victorian,' originally built in 1898 in San Diego's Sherman Heights historic district.

At the time of construction, it was an elaborate middle class home, but years of neglect had faded the Victorian’s beauty. Homeowners with a passion for preservation (and enthusiasm for color) restored the historic home to its former glory, thoughtfully bringing it into the 21st century by creating a chef-quality kitchen that would complement the home's traditional character.

The couple's daily and annual rituals were studied and a custom kitchen was designed to accommodate day-to-day domestic needs along with the needs of entertaining friends and family, where both clients could work comfortably in the same space.
