Ted Pratt at MTP Architects designed our beautiful San Francisco kitchen. He was able to open up the cramped 1920’s galley kitchen by claiming the small breakfast room and interior atrium light space (between the row houses) and combined them into a spacious gourmet cooking/​eating/​gathering area that flows from the formal dining room into the main hallway. This is now the room that we spend most of our time in; we could not be more pleased with the result. Ted has very imaginative ideas and solutions that translated well to our project. For example, since we lost the atrium light, Ted planned six skylights, three of them operable, to bring light and fresh air to the now-​interior space. We wanted to retain the Deco feel of our house but also establish a modern kitchen with upscale appliances and an island. He struck just the right notes with traditional details such as crown moldings and an arched pass-​through window to the dining room which echoed the existing interior arched doorways. The modern cooking space incorporates stainless steel, two types of granite for the backsplash and counters, and a home office wall. It is all beautifully integrated into a transitional center-​of-​the-​home space. Ted worked very well with our contractor (RCI Interiors — also highly recommended) and communicated his vision perfectly. He also stepped up when a post-​construction issue was brought forward by one of our sub-​contractors and mediated the discussion to a successful resolution. We highly recommend Ted, and MTP Architects, and would be happy to share our experience with any prospective clients.
