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

• 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
