PROJECT

The Valuck Residence

The Valucks are a busy family. Between running a family business, traveling frequently, and raising kids deeply involved in competitive sports, their home needed to be more than just beautiful—it needed to function for the way they actually live.

When they came to us, their biggest frustration was a lack of connection and usable space. The kitchen felt tight and inefficient, making everyday cooking a challenge. At the same time, there wasn’t a comfortable place for the family to gather. With the kitchen and family room located in separate areas of the house, the main living spaces felt disconnected and the overall flow of the home didn’t support their lifestyle.

We began by looking at how to better utilize the space they already had. An underused formal dining room was transformed into a large walk-in pantry, complete with an additional sink for food prep and cleanup. This not only increased functionality but also relieved pressure on the main kitchen area.

From there, we reimagined the kitchen layout. A new U-shaped design paired with a large central island created significantly more counter space and improved workflow. A large window was added to bring in natural light, brightening the entire space. The design was finished with a dark tile backsplash to contrast the white cabinetry and countertops, along with under-cabinet lighting and pendant fixtures to create warmth and cohesion.

While these changes addressed the kitchen, the home still lacked a central space for the family to come together. To solve this, we expanded the footprint of the house by adding a large, open family room. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and surrounded by windows, the new space is filled with natural light and designed for everyday living. Matching engineered wood flooring throughout the first floor ties the entire layout together, creating a seamless transition between spaces.

This project was about more than updating finishes or adding square footage. It was about creating a home that supports the rhythm of a busy family’s life—one that brings everyone together and makes the most of the time they have at home.
