An Arts & Crafts inspired builder home had a large, empty space at the top of the second floor stairs that was non-functional. By building a new dividing wall and soffit over a standard cherry wood cabinetry with custom accents, adding light fixtures and wood trim to emphasize the home’s style with an art niche that welcomes you upon arriving, this once useless space now houses a home office, library, sitting room, and space for kids to do homework with details and materials that help visually tie the main level to the upper level.
