The kitchen is usually where a renovation earns or loses its value. In older Tampa and St. Petersburg homes it is often the room that has aged worst: closed off from the living spaces, short on storage, and built around appliances that no longer fit. Sixth Sense Studio designs luxury kitchen renovations, most often as part of a larger whole-home project, with design and construction coordination handled by one team.
It is rarely one expensive finish. It is a layout that lets two people cook without colliding, storage that puts everything within reach, lighting that works for prep and for dinner, and materials chosen to age well. We plan all of that before choosing a single slab.
In Tampa bungalows and St. Pete homes from the 1920s through the 1960s, opening the kitchen to the living room is the most common request. Removing a wall can be straightforward or can involve structural beams, relocated plumbing and new electrical. Permits are required for that work in both cities, and in historic districts exterior changes such as new windows may need review. We plan for this up front so the design is buildable.
Humidity, salt air and, in flood-prone areas, ground-floor exposure all affect material choices. We favor sealed stone, quality hardware finishes and cabinetry construction suited to Florida conditions.
Because our full-service projects begin at $80,000, a kitchen is usually one part of a larger renovation. Designing it together with adjacent rooms keeps flooring, lighting and millwork consistent. Learn more about Tampa gut renovations, St. Petersburg gut renovations and our design-build approach.
