Buckingham Trail
Luxury Basement Remodel Pittsburgh

Buckingham Trail

There is a synergy of entertainment space and utility in this open floor plan kitchen design. In addition to creating storage and functional efficiency and aesthetics, the renovation corrected structural issues. Gorgeous, full-view windows and doors open up to a lush and private backyard and deck.

Objectives

Update the kitchen and fit the new design to the original
interior while keeping the original rustic feel.
Larger kitchen working space.
Working island.
Connect Kitchen to two other rooms.
Improve lighting in kitchen.
Create a dry bar centerpiece in room with ample storage.

Design Challenges

Designing within the limitations of post and beam log home construction.
Walls are solid wood with no cavity to run the electrical wiring and plumbing line.
Walls are not smooth and straight making it difficult to install cabinetry.
No cavity in ceiling for recessed lights.
Designing an efficient working kitchen.

Our Solutions

Instead of taking away the entire existing pantry space and adding it to the kitchen, which was the client’s thought, we suggested reducing the pantry by a couple of feet and adding that square footage to the kitchen area for the benefit of a handsome, storage infused center.
