Modern Kitchen Transformation: Chicago, IL
The Challenge: A Dated and Inefficient Layout
The original kitchen featured honey-oak cabinets and standard white appliances that made the space feel dark and outdated. The layout did not provide enough prep space, and the overall design lacked a cohesive look. Because of the age of the property, a full teardown was needed to inspect the underlying plumbing and electrical systems and to prepare for a more open layout.
The Solution: A Complete Custom Overhaul
Led by owners Udi Yeger and Ofer Gliksman, Maya Construction Group completed a full gut remodel. We stripped the room to the studs and subfloor to ensure all new systems were installed correctly. We reimagined the space with a bold deep green and white color scheme, installing a large island for additional workspace and updating all fixtures to create a clean, contemporary feel.
