This smart kitchen renovation in Silver Spring, Maryland, involved removing three walls and a centrally located powder room and a closet. The powder room was relocated into the original closet area, and the patio door moved nearby. The main window was enlarged to create an anchor and focal point for the new kitchen as well as to enhance the view onto the lovely backyard. An angled island keeps the room feeling spacious and open, and a corner pantry was designed so as not to lose precious storage space. Photo by Stacy Zarin Goldberg

The design concept of the residence was conceived through a combination of site analysis, in regard to views to promote and to screen, an appreciation of the gentle curves of the site topography and the elevation change across the meadow-like landscape. The plan form of the house is based on a fragmented radial array established off a large radius whose center point is on axis with view corridor from the property. The radial walls extend past the bounds of the habitable space and both strengthen the design concept and function to screen views to the east and west towards neighboring properties.
