This existing single family house, had an enclosed kitchen that was separated from the living area.

The intention of this project was to open the kitchen to the surrounding interior and exterior spaces. This was achieved by removing walls, adding an island and inserting glass doors into the existing exterior wall. A downdraft ventilation system was installed in lieu of a hood to further connect the interior and exterior space with unobstructed views to the outside.

A mud room was added that allows convenient entry to the house from the either the garage or exterior parking.
