Belmont Project

The Belmont brief covered two phases: prep the site for a rear addition, and rework the main kitchen inside the existing house. Two builds, one crew, one point of contact.

Phase one meant a full clearing — trees, stumps and vegetation removed, soil graded to the millimetre for the new foundation. Kubota on the ground, plan in hand, every pass planned to protect what stayed around it.

Inside, the kitchen turns around a curved light-oak veneer island and a full-height fluted white hood — a sculptural piece that anchors the room without crowding it. Veined-marble counters and backsplash, matte-black hardware, whitewashed oak floors.

The result: a kitchen the family actually lives in — cats on the island included — and a site ready for the next phase.
