What were the main items on your client’s wish list for the redesign of their home?

This was one of those projects that started as a kitchen renovation and each time I met with the clients, they added more to the scope of work. Eventually we had plans for gutting and renovating the entire space.

The primary focus was tailoring the limited space to maximize functionality surrounding how they lived. This included a lot of customizations and specificity within the cabinetry design. Drawers were designed to store paper towels and we even added a slot to feed the towels through for easy access. Cabinets were made specific to the size of their cookware and dinnerware.

We measured his knives and then created custom slots in the butcher block for storage and easy access.

And though her clients had reached out to her primarily to renovate the kitchen of the 1,430-square-foot condo, located in Marina Del Rey, California, Stein was soon enlisted to overhaul the entire home. The result was a complete transformation from an ultra-traditional, heavy color palette, and ornate everything to one that embodied a simplified, modern, and classic take.
