Driftwood Transitional: Squirrel Hill Kitchen

Project Details

Our clients came to Marvista Design + Build seeking a kitchen that would allow them to properly entertain within their space. This once outdated 70’s kitchen had a large peninsula that obstructed traffic flow. Working within the same 4 walls, while achieving a more cohesive footprint, allowed for a large island and more cabinet storage. The space had some beautiful archways that we were able to mimic to elevate the kitchens architectural features.

The client had some lucky rocks that they took color inspiration from to select the dark cabinetry and hood tone. The kitchen also featured great cabinet organization to allow for decluttered countertops.

How Our Design-Build Process Works

Remodeling doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We’ve spent years building a process that keeps things clear, organized, and efficient—start to finish. You won’t be chasing contractors or stuck waiting for answers. Our three-phase design-build approach brings everything under one roof: design, pricing, and construction. Here's how it flows:
Discovery

We get to know your home, understand how you live, and map out the possibilities. This includes layout options, a realistic investment range, and a clear scope of work so everyone’s aligned from the start.

Design Finalization

Once the big decisions are made, we dive into the details—materials, finishes, drawings, and walkthroughs. We’ll help you make confident selections and lock in a fixed price before we build a thing.

Construction

With everything approved and ordered, our in-house team and trusted trade partners get to work. You’ll get daily updates, streamlined communication, and a build that runs the way it should.
