Project Description
Gordon Residence
Major Kitchen Remodel & Bath Remodel
1983 | La Jolla, CA
Alterations
- Removed section of interior bearing walls that separated a study from the kitchen and breakfast area and hall.
- Closed off original study door so old study now is open only to the kitchen and became the family room that was missing from this home
- During removal of this interior wall we discovered that it unexpectedly housed the main plumbing drains for an upstairs bath
- So as happens in some major remodeling projects, on the job problem solving and good communication and cooperation between the customer and contractor were needed to overcome this hurdle
- Recessed florescent lights into ceiling to meet the building code of that time period
Kitchen Remodeling Details

- Cabinet Finish: Gray laminate
- Part of these cabinets (sink area U-shape base cabinets) were original cabinets that we refaced to match the new cabinets, added to reshape the room new cabinet layout
- Curved cabinets to all ends and give this kitchen a unique soft look which became its theme
- Built an entertainment center in family room whose cabinets wrap around the wall to become a desk area in kitchen and breakfast area
- White laminate countertops and full tile backsplash and tile inset into counter around cooktop area for built-in protection for hot pans in that area
- Hardwood floors set at diagonal tie the rooms together while making the cabinets and furniture stand out

Project Overview
In this La Jolla home we did major structural alterations to turn the area of an unused study into a family room open to the kitchen and breakfast area. The use of curved cabinet ends to softened the transition between each area created a very inviting living space.
