“An Indian Hills Townhome Renovation”
For Dan and Claudia, the kitchen in their late-1970s contemporary East Cobb townhome simply wasn’t working. Buried deep in the lower level with no natural light, it didn’t meet their culinary needs or reflect their style. Years of raising children, pets, and the dreaded East Cobb pinhole plumbing leaks had taken their toll, so a full renovation was in order.
Inspired by the clients’ love of bright, airy spaces and clean Scandinavian lines, the new design features GE Café appliances in matte white with bronze pulls, paired with Omega cabinetry in quarter-sawn white oak and painted finishes. MSI Calacatta Laza Oro quartz counters and a full-height backsplash complete the look, while copper-toned accents tie everything together.
Beyond the kitchen, the renovation extended to the laundry and half bath for a cohesive aesthetic. Custom Dwellings reversed the laundry access to the stair hall and concealed the entry with tandem barn doors, carrying the herringbone detailing from the kitchen island into the space. Townhomes bring unique challenges as semi-attached units, but the team coordinated carefully to maintain plumbing and electrical service to adjoining residences. Working closely with Cobb County Building Department officials, the “Build Team” ensured code compliance and, most importantly, client satisfaction. The result is a thoughtfully crafted kitchen and lower level that blend beauty with function—spaces where everyday living feels extraordinary.
“From initial consultation to project completion, the Custom Dwellings Build Team (i.e. Russell, Rob, and Mike) consistently impressed us with their professionalism, expertise, dedication, and responsiveness every step of the way.” – Dan and Claudia
