Taragano Design & Build completed this midcentury kitchen remodel in Danville, California. The window behind the sink is the point of the room. It opens fully to the patio, which turns the counter into a serving ledge and puts the person washing dishes in the middle of whatever is happening outside. In a climate where the back yard is usable eight or nine months a year, a fixed window there would have been the more conventional choice and the worse one. That opening also determined the cooking wall. With the sink committed to the window run, the range went to the perpendicular wall under a canopy hood, which pulls heat away from the open window rather than pushing it toward the seating. The two zones sit at right angles with the island between them, so the cook turns rather than walks. The island is kept short on purpose. A longer one would have reached toward the family room and closed the sight line to the fireplace and dining area. Holding it back keeps the kitchen and living space reading as one room, which is the reason the wall came out in the first place. Overhead, a skylight was set into the vault on the family room side, where the ceiling pitches away from the exterior glazing and daylight would otherwise fall off. Rift white oak slab cabinetry with a painted island in teal, quartz counters and waterfall edge, vertical stacked tile backsplash, over existing red oak flooring.
