One of the greatest things about residential architecture is the big impact even small projects can have on a home and its owners. Take for instance, this recently completed design;
The owners of a 100-year old Washington, DC row house were in dire need of a functional breakfast nook. With two growing boys soon to be 6'-0" or taller, the current breakfast space was beginning to feel cramped. Though they would have loved to expand the room, as is often the case in row houses, there just wasn't the space to do so.
After exploring a number of design scenarios, it became clear that the problem wasn't necessarily the space, it was the furnishings. The standard sizes and shapes of available tables just weren't well suited for the nook. So together, we set out to design and build a custom table.
Breaking from convention, the uniquely shaped table provides ample seating for 4, expanding to seat 6 when needed. The soft curve at one end responds to the natural circulation paths in and around the nook.
Here's what the owners had to say;
"Mike transformed the way we live in this area of the house by designing a beautiful custom table with built-in seating and drawers... All our future home renovations will be with Pagenstecher GROUP."
