We Separated the Fridge and Freezer... Here's Why!

Why would anyone separate the fridge and freezer? For years, side-by-side refrigeration has been a standard kitchen design choice. But as the way we live, cook, and entertain evolves, so do our kitchens. In this Homes by Sorensen custom home, we're sharing one layout decision that might be considered an unpopular opinion: separating the fridge and freezer instead of placing them side-by-side. Could the traditional kitchen work triangle be evolving into something even better? We're also exploring one of the biggest trends in luxury kitchen design: the free and clear island. No sink. No cooktop. No clutter. Just a beautiful, uninterrupted surface designed for gathering, entertaining, and everyday living. But if the sink isn't in the island... where does it go? We'll walk you through the design decisions behind this stunning kitchen, including a beautiful 3" mitered island, a sleek perimeter countertop detail, and how we achieved a seamless countertop height transition despite using different countertop thicknesses. And because we had a little extra time, we're taking you upstairs to tour a luxurious primary ensuite featuring a stunning wet room design that you won't want to miss. At Homes by Sorensen, we believe the kitchen and primary bathroom are two of the most important spaces in a home. Thoughtful design isn't just about creating something beautiful, it's about creating spaces that function effortlessly for the way you live.
