First Place: Specialty

An underused seating area in Kensington makes way for an office/lounge.

Equipped with built-in desks and cozy seating, the enclosed space enables the owners to work at home; it doubles as a hangout for movie and game nights. A coffee bar serves up snacks with ease. Cabinetry in Benjamin Moore’s Dark Olive makes a bold statement.
