The heart of your home, designed around the way you really live.

Bloomington grew up fast in the postwar decades, and its kitchens show it. So many of the homes we work in for Bloomington families are 1950s and 60s ramblers and split-levels, often built in a hurry by developers like Orrin Thompson on former farmland east of the city. Those kitchens were designed as small, closed-off work rooms, walled away from the dining and living space. The most common project we take on here is opening that footprint up, taking down a wall between the kitchen and the rest of the main floor so the space finally works for how people actually live.
On a split-level, that wall often carries load or hides ductwork and plumbing, so we plan the header, the electrical, and the mechanical rerouting before a single cabinet is ordered. As a design-build team, our designers and our carpenters sit at the same table, which means the pretty rendering and the structural reality are the same plan. You get one point of contact, an honest written price, and no finger-pointing between a designer and a separate contractor when something behind the plaster turns out differently than expected.
West Bloomington's larger two-stories from the 70s and 80s bring a different job, usually a full gut of a dated oak-and-laminate kitchen into an island layout with better storage and lighting. Whichever era your home is, we walk you through the sequence up front so you know how long you'll be without a kitchen and when the cabinets, counters, and appliances land.
