In celebration of our 60th Anniversary, we're sharing some of our favorite home remodeling projects! Check out this kitchen and dining room remodel in Alamo, which was also featured in Diablo Magazine.

The Challenge

When this family approached Gayler Design Build, they had a unique, octagon-shaped room that lacked flow and modern amenities. The home initially was constructed from three small houses that were "joined" together to create this unusual shape. It was important for the family to keep the open floor plan but add more functional space, including new cabinetry and a large center island.

In order to build the open floor plan, Gayler Design Build had to design around a central post and refinish the octagon concrete flooring, which was cut to reconfigure items in space and access sewer lines, etc.

The Solution

To incorporate the central post into the design, a new large pantry was designed around the post—an amenity this family was amazed and thrilled to incorporate into their design plan. The oversized pantry was large enough to house a small bar with a refrigerator, over and under cabinet storage, and plenty of open shelving. The backside of the pantry was designed with a built-in credenza and a large wine fridge.
