For this kitchen remodel, I had the opportunity to help a family friend redesign a kitchen to meet all her wants and needs. In the beginning, I started by getting familiar with my client. We talked about everything from her family, to her hobbies, her job, and her home. She showed me an important teapot that she felt was necessary to keep in her dream home.
I really struggled at first to find inspiration from such a formal teapot because my client specifically asked not to have a formal kitchen. So sketching out concept drawings, and parti sketches, I really did not have an good ideas, or anything that was abstract enough. Once I finally picked at sketch it was more smooth sailing.
One thing I will work on in future remodels is trying to get down more concept sketches. I will try to be quicker with getting my ideas, and accessing them after I have a good number done. Not only that, but I will also try to be more symbolic and abstract and less literal.
As for this kitchen remodel, I am really happy with how it turned out. I believe this is a space my client would like to spend her evenings in and also show off to all her family and friends!
