For this 1980's home, the Rochman Design Build team took out the walls between the kitchen and dining room to give our clients more flow and space, re-arranged the back entry, renovated the mudroom, created a working pantry, and - of course - renovated the kitchen. In addition, the living room got an addition of a light shaft as well as built in shelves but the true wow factor was the transformation of the master bath. Follow THIS link to see what we mean. 

Our clients came to Rochman Design Build with a desire to add to their 1930's Tudor style house that they love, while respecting the style and character. We added a new 2nd floor primary bedroom, bathroom and walk-in closet built over the existing dining room and kitchen. Some cool features in the primary suite will include a gas fireplace and entertainment center in the primary bedroom, additional seating area to enjoy the warmth of their new fireplace, coupled with a thin bezel TV that doubles as an art frame, lush cabinetry, and accent lighting for a soft finishing touch. The first-floor bedroom was converted into a home office. Follow THIS link to see all the photos.

Our clients came to the Rochman Design Build team with a request that we turn their simple ranch house into a multi generation home, transforming this traditional ranch into a contemporary 2-story home. Our team enlarged the existing garage and living room, added a new family room on the first floor, a new formal entry and mudroom, renovated the existing 1st-floor en-suite, and added a modern stair tower to the 2nd-floor. The new 2nd-floor now has 4 bedrooms including a master suite, and 2 home offices. You can see how the project unfolded as well as the after photos here.

For this project on this 1930’s traditional brick Ann Arbor home on Devonshire, our team at Rochman Design Build converted the existing garage into a den, and a mudroom with plenty of seating, as well as incorporated a flex space of home office / guest room. We also changed the layout of the kitchen and dining room into a more open space, with a bench seating area. You can see the project as it unfolded as well as the after photos here.

Our clients in Burns Park were ready to transform their small and cramped kitchen into something that is more spacious and family friendly, including a cubby / mudroom area for little backpacks and coats. The color board for the kitchen, off white and chocolate cherry stain, as well as the blue and white hand painted tiles was inspired by our clients’ honeymoon in Portugal. You can see the project as it unfolded as well as the after photos here.

This house in Lower Burns Park in Ann Arbor had a small, cramped and chopped kitchen with no eating area or space for a family to cook or gather. The Rochman Design Build Team stayed with the clients' feel for a more European kitchen, opened up the walls, and created a space where the family can now make dinner, do homework or put groceries away, all at the same time :-). You can see the project as it unfolded as well as the after photos here.

Our clients loved their 1920s Dutch Colonial in Burns Park; the kitchen however, was about to get a gorgeous upgrade. The kitchen remodel of this classic Ann Arbor home by Rochman Design Build includes a dramatic black and white Cambria Bentley island, Riverwood Hickory cabinets and Zellige handcrafted clay tile for the backsplash. View the project as it unfolded here.

Our clients loved their 1950’s two-story home on the Old West Side of Ann Arbor, but the house contained 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom on the second level and a small, cramped kitchen on the main floor. The Rochman Design Build team worked with the homeowners to develop a revised layout that included a two-story addition affecting both levels. On the main level, we opened the kitchen and dining room to create a flowing and functional floorplan with a large central island, a wine hutch, a charming window bench and a new mudroom entry area. On the second floor, our team added a new full bathroom and walk-in closet to the primary bedroom. To see the project as it unfolded as well as after photos follow this link.

The side entrance in this Old West Side home in Ann Arbor led right into a narrow and cramped galley kitchen that was surrounded by spacious living room space. The Rochman Design Build team reconfigured the floor plan in a way that is both beautiful and functional. The new spacious and light filled kitchen / dining room now has an island for meal prep, baking or homework. The old kitchen was turned into a mud room and laundry room.

The G shaped kitchen with one way in and one way out in this 1940 2-story brick colonial was not working out for our clients and their young family. Having recently moved into their new home, our clients struggled with the lack of circulation and flow, the difficulty of having more than one cook in the U shaped cooking space, and the separated breakfast area. They wanted a more open and inclusive space where they can eat together, do homework, and entertain.
