A little creative thinking helps transform this period-perfect Tudor.

Making History

A TURRET IS ONE OF THOSE UNIQUE details prospective home buyers obsess over—and kids dream about. (Who doesn’t want a bedroom in a tower?)

Well, this Kansas City, Missouri, Tudor, built nearly 100 years ago, has two. But as its new owners found out, a lot of houses that have them aren’t designed for the flow of modern life.

The family of four initially brought in Mallory Robins and Elizabeth Bennett, founders of Kobel + Co, to renovate the kitchen, which was their biggest pain point.

However, the designers quickly saw that a large-scale overhaul— one that involved moving the kitchen and reconfiguring the main floor—was what the home needed.
