Our clients in Burns Park are ready to transform their small and cramped kitchen into something that is more spacious and family friendly, including a cubby / mudroom area for little backpacks and coats. The kitchen will be in off white with chocolate cherry stain; the inspiration for the blue and white hand painted tiles came from our clients’ honeymoon in Portugal.

 
 
 

This house in Lower Burns Park in Ann Arbor had a small, cramped and chopped kitchen with no eating area or space for a family to cook or gather. The Rochman Design Build Team stayed with the clients' feel for a more European kitchen, opened up the walls, and created a space where the family can now make dinner, do homework or put groceries away, all at the same time :-). You can see the project as it unfolded as well as the after photos here.

 
 
 
 
 

Our clients loved their 1920s Dutch Colonial in Burns Park; the kitchen however, was about to get a gorgeous upgrade. The kitchen remodel of this classic Ann Arbor home by Rochman Design Build includes a dramatic black and white Cambria Bentley island, Riverwood Hickory cabinets and Zellige handcrafted clay tile for the backsplash.

Our clients loved their 1950’s two-story home on the Old West Side of Ann Arbor, but the house contained 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom on the second level and a small, cramped kitchen on the main floor. The Rochman Design Build team worked with the homeowners to develop a revised layout that included a two-story addition affecting both levels. On the main level, we opened the kitchen and dining room to create a flowing and functional floorplan with a large central island, a wine hutch, a charming window bench and a new mudroom entry area. On the second floor, our team added a new full bathroom and walk-in closet to the primary bedroom. To see the project as it unfolded as well as after photos follow this link.

 
 
 
 
 

This solidly-built 2-story brick home had almost everything going for it, except a mudroom. A few square feet at the edge of the stairway was the only space for shoes where the family always entered, and in Michigan that is a big problem. The circulation cut through the main working corner of the kitchen and reduced cabinets and continuous counterspace. By shifting the kitchen wall 30” we created a mudroom space and renovated the kitchen with better function and beautiful materials.

The side entrance in this Old West Side home in Ann Arbor led right into a narrow and cramped galley kitchen that was surrounded by spacious living room space. The Rochman Design Build team reconfigured the floor plan in a way that is both beautiful and functional. The new spacious and light filled kitchen / dining room now has an island for meal prep, baking or homework. The old kitchen was turned into a mud room and laundry room.

The G shaped kitchen with one way in and one way out in this 1940 2-story brick colonial was not working out for our clients and their young family. Having recently moved into their new home, our clients struggled with the lack of circulation and flow, the difficulty of having more than one cook in the U shaped cooking space, and the separated breakfast area. They wanted a more open and inclusive space where they can eat together, do homework, and entertain.

Surrounded by a canopy of majestic trees and a bit back from the road, this quaint 1940s ranch home got 2 serious updates. Our 1st project was a 2nd story addition that included a master bedroom, a walk in closet and a bathroom. In our 2nd project, we flipped spaces. The kitchen, originally located in a tiny room of the house, moved to the other side of the house, and is now spacious much more family friendly.
