Modern Chef’s Kitchen – Residential Additions/Renovation

Modern Chef’s Kitchen, Ann Arbor, MI – www.studiozarch.com

The homeowners purchase a mid-century modern home designed by well-known modernist architect Robert Metcalf. Metcalf was known for meticulously-detailed wood and glass homes with small kitchens. The small 1960s gallery kitchen and dining area were expanded by adding an 8′ wide addition to the south side of the house. The kitchen and dining room were switched in the new layout, giving the dining area a better view of the backyard and moving the kitchen closer to the garage.
