This kitchen remodel in Woodbury, Minnesota was created for a young family facing new health challenges after their son’s diagnosis with an autoimmune disease. The family’s life shifted dramatically, requiring a specialized diet with complex nutritional needs. Working closely with the mother — a nutritional practitioner — we designed a high-functioning kitchen that supports wellness, health, and family connection.

While the family realigned dietary goals and eating habits, the kitchen became a place of comfort, organization, and healing. Highly efficient workstations, a back-kitchen for prep, and an expansive island set the stage for family cooking. Integrated fridge and pantry towers, a built-in desk for nutritional research, and a recipe bulletin keep everything accessible and streamlined.

The design focuses on healthy, hygienic, and calming materials: a working island and juice bar for daily routines, easy-to-clean surfaces, and a soothing color palette that provides a sense of serenity. More than a remodel, this project represents a kitchen for well-being — blending thoughtful design with the healing power of environment.
