This 1907 Craftsman home required a thoughtful update, blending modern functionality with historic integrity. The design honors the home’s history by referencing existing arches within the entryway. The custom range hood was shaped to echo those details, originally designed by architect William Christmas Knighton, known for landmarks such as the Governor Hotel and the Oregon Supreme Court building.

Custom cabinetry was thoughtfully designed to fit the existing footprint with precision, maximizing function without compromising character. A few favorite features include unlacquered brass hardware, built-in spice niches, arched toe kicks, and a custom island table. The result is a kitchen that feels not newly added, but thoughtfully restored, bringing the space back to life in a way that feels enduring and true to its origins.
