Scenario
Here we have a homeowner in Chaguanas who has bought a beautiful lot in Lange Park and wants to construct the perfect kitchen and master bathroom from scratch in their new 5BR 2.5BA 3,000 sq. ft. single-story house.

- Bathroom: With a budget of $100,000 TT, our homeowner can expect to achieve a luxurious, high-quality bathroom that includes premium fixtures, elegant tiles, custom built-ins and vanities, sophisticated lighting, and luxury features such as open and expanded wet areas. This budget should also cover the costs of plumbing and electrical installations, so everything is covered with some room for project over runs.

This includes custom teak or acrylic cabinetry, premium natural stone countertops, top-of-the-line appliances including sub-zero freezer and chef’s kitchen, modern smart lighting, and an exquisite island the accommodates your entire family and guests comfortably in the kitchen.

2. What are your specific design preferences and functional requirements?
Design Preferences:
- Kitchen: The homeowner desires a comfy, family-oriented kitchen with functional modern appliances and finishes for an active, young family. This includes white cabinetry with areas for adults and children, stainless steel appliances that are smudge resistant, and easy-to-clean sparkle-white countertops, complemented by modern, warm lighting fixtures and a smart layout that maximizes mulituse functionality.
- Bathroom: The vision is an escape that is still safe for children. The bathtub would be large and enclosed but we added jacuzzi jets for an upgraded experience for mom and dad. Teak cabinetry with hidden hardware for a seamless appearance with minimal counterspace. All-in-all a functional place for children and a serene, spa-like bathroom for the adults.
