The Transformation

Before & After

A narrow terrace kitchen with a cramped peninsula, exposed appliances and an interrupted path between the hall and rear courtyard. The design response addresses these conditions through four coordinated priorities: protect the terrace circulation line; create concealed appliance storage; add useful island preparation; carry daylight into the work zone.
