CuttingThis simple, white drywall ceiling is broken up over the kitchen by an opening to the floor above. To its left we can see the stair heading up. The wood in these openings echoes that in the kitchen counter below.
This view inside the house is looking from the entry to the west, through the open kitchen and living area; the deck is to the left. While the plan is compact, the space is airy and bright. The upper floor is hinted at through the wood walls seen through the white ceiling.
I like how socially conducive the space is. I can myself washing dishes or getting a plate of hors d'oeuvres ready while chatting with my kids or a guest, who could comfortably rest on the barstool.
