Photo at Top: This design was featured on the cover of Midwest Home & Design and won the Grand prize for the Midwest Home Awards in all categories.

Photo Middle Row Left: Also featured on the cover of Remodeling Magazine is the project's gourmet kitchen. The clients were expert cooks with young children and needed a real gourmet kitchen that was also kid freindly. Todd Remington designed the kitchen to include zones of activity. The dangerous fire zone was placed at the end of the kitchen and recessed into a tile arch. All cabinets and equipment inside the recess are stainless steel. The prep zone includes the center lowered island for child participation.

Photo Middle Row Center: After a day or playing in the gourmet kitchen, its time to eat. On more formal occasions, family and friends sit down to eat in the restored dining room (pictured left). Coffee and tea after meals is served in the adjoining sunroom seen beyond.

Photo Middle Row Right: The original Arts & Crafts home can be seen at left in the adjacent photo. Todd's addition is the entire wing to the right including the lower garage and patio. The design also restored the interior and exterior of the original structure.
