1916 Craftsman Reconfiguration

This charming 1916 Craftsman was reconfigured to increase the footprint via a redesigned kitchen and new, open living room. To create an open concept the fireplace and chimney were removed from the living room and the stairs to the basement were rerouted around the kitchen. A partial pony wall between the staircase and dining further opened the space.

The kitchen was expanded from an L-shape to a U-shape giving the family twice the number of cabinets, with a pantry for extra storage, and built-in bench seating for eat-in kitchen dining. To gain additional interior space the original front porch and a side entry were enclosed to create a foyer with a closet, and a functional mud room with built-ins and cubbies. To tie the rooms together new hardware floors were installed throughout the main floor.

Kurt Harjo

Since the age of 19, Kurt has dreamt of starting a business to build beautiful things. Growing up in construction, Kurt had a lot of preparation before founding Harjo Construction, including building tree houses, growing up with a home workshop, working in commercial construction during college, and later working in the field and project management.

If he had to choose the single most important thing to do in a day, Kurt believes it’s understanding priorities. He enjoys solving problems with clients, putting together strategies, and helping them visualize a new reality for their home. Inspired by Coach John Wooden, Kurt motivates others by helping people see new or bigger realities for themselves—discovering a capacity within them they weren’t aware was there. Evident in his management style, Kurt encourages his employees to grow by offering them new challenges.

If he wasn’t improving homes, Kurt could see himself sailing around the world or designing and building furniture. In his spare time, he likes competitive mountain biking, playing volleyball, cooking and conversing with his wife Meghan, young son Koen, and infant daughter Anna.

Renewal Remodel & Additions

, ,

In this kitchen remodel, our focus is in opening up and updating the current space. We’ll begin by removing the existing chimney, which sits in the middle of the home. This will significantly contribute to the spaciousness the homeowners hope to feel in their new kitchen. A combination of stained and painted cabinets with a marble backsplash will enhance the dynamic, yet inviting design in the room. The installation of Astoria Granite with a waterfall edge modernizes the room’s look and floating shelves with puck lights add warmth in eye-catching fashion. Finally, the portable island allows for larger groups to gather, as it can be transported with ease.

After the remodel, this kitchen becomes rich in spaciousness, design, and convenience for the homeowners and their guests.
