A family kitchen with a focus on the yard was the Owner’s intent. Plus some space to cloister away in private luxury. Down went the useless undersized garage, and up went a two story addition. With space to drop off incoming junk, space to eat, space to lounge, space to work, and a connection to a new patio, the kitchen fulfills the goal of a room to live in. Perched above with windows all around, the new Owner’s Suite . . .
One of the clients' priorities for this project was to create a family space that focuses on the outdoors. Like the rest of the kitchen, this presented some spatial challenges. The team wanted to expand the kitchen, but they couldn't expand into the side yard (where the family eventually wanted to have a garden). The solution was to work within the L-shape footprint and expand out onto the patio.
