it is but a cottage - the kitchen
http://www.hfdarchitects.com

The kitchen for this cottage home is quite small, just 10' square. So to maximize the amount of cabinetry space we provided clerestory windows in the vaulted space and a small island for food prep and clean up. A glass pocket door separates the kitchen from the mudroom.

This project was featured in Womans Day as well as in Not So Big Remodeling by Sarah Susanka and Marc Vassallo.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Without any windows, this kitchen would be dark, despite the white cupboards. If regular windows were added, cabinet space would be lost. Clerestory windows are the perfect solution here.And when windows such as these are operable, they can also save cooling costs in the summer by allowing hot air to rise and escape.
