Boulder Kitchen Condo Remodel
In Boulder, Colorado
A condo he loved, with one weak spot
When the owner moved into his downtown Boulder condo, he fell for the location, the beautiful fireplace, and the patio. The kitchen was the holdout — small, confining, short on storage, and still wearing the original finishes from when the complex was built decades earlier. Everything about the place worked except the room he needed most.

A condo he loved, with one weak spot
In a footprint this tight, the move had to earn its keep. We opened the wall between the kitchen and the great room beyond — and made that single opening do triple duty.
On the great-room side, it gained bar seating for two, plus a run of cabinets, countertop, and shelving that finally gave the whole condo the storage it lacked. On the kitchen side, the cabinets were laid out for the most efficient possible workflow in the space available. The result connects the kitchen to the living area so the owner can cook while socializing with guests, rather than being walled off from them — all without expanding the footprint by a single foot.
A kitchen that finally matches the home
Modernized to reflect the owner's style and the way his family actually uses the space, the kitchen now lives up to the condo around it — open, connected, and a genuine pleasure to cook in. Proof that even a single tight room, rethought carefully, can change how an entire home feels.
