Residential Home Bar Remodel
Sometimes the smallest material choice has the biggest impact on a project. In this home bar remodel, the standout feature isn't the cabinetry, countertops, or appliances.

Such was the case of this project, where after decades of living in the same house, the clients were able to leave their property in our hands and make a tabula rasa from which to understand how the different spaces could be adapted to their functional needs.

Bindloss Dawes bring light and volume to a remodeled Chelsea mews house
