Kitchen Remodeling in Panorama City
When a Panorama City kitchen doubles as a hallway, Navon Home redraws the walkways and doorways first, then sizes cabinets and landing space around them.
Kitchen remodeling becomes the first job in a Panorama City house when the kitchen also serves as a hallway. If the back door, the garage door or the route to the bedrooms passes between the sink and the range, every trip across the room cuts through the cook's work. Fixing that means redrawing where people walk before any cabinet or tile is picked, and the redraw sets the scope for each room it touches.
Moving the path out of the work zone
We sketch the room with every door that opens into it and trace the routes people take across it. A walkway of about 42 inches clears a single person, and a cook working beside a second person needs closer to 48. When a through route crosses the work zone, the fix may be shifting a doorway along the wall, closing a door that sees little use, or turning a U-shaped run into an L so people walk behind the cook. Each of those changes touches framing, trim and sometimes a light switch, so they are drawn and priced as part of the plan.
Landing space and the LADBS review
Once the path is clear, each appliance gets a place to set things down. A stretch of counter on the handle side of the refrigerator, space on both sides of the cooktop and a run next to the sink keep hot pans and grocery bags off the walkway. Moving a doorway in an exterior or bearing wall calls for a header sized to the new span. Permits for Panorama City come from LADBS, the city's building department, which reviews that framing along with the electrical and plumbing changes, and its inspector compares the new walkway to the approved drawing at the final visit.
What we plan and build in Panorama City
