Dark and dated, the kitchen was split in two by the door to the laundry room that led to the only door to the back yard. A peninsula further bisected the kitchen into cramped, unusable spaces where residents had to squeeze by each other.
Relocating the door created a continuous more useable counter which allowed for the removal of the peninsula. Now multiple residents can easily navigate between the refrigerator, range and sink without bumping into others being stationary at the counter.

With space at a premium, the footprint did not allow for an office room. Creating an office alcove in the rear hallway that does not get much foot traffic became the perfect location.

With little to no storage, the limited counter space was further diminished when the counter was used to store items. Even the top of the refrigerator became an ad hoc storage shelf.
Floor to ceiling cupboard to the left, a pantry to the right, and cabinet space in the island, keep all kitchen items neatly stored away out of sight. Demolishing a small end wall opens this kitchen to the dining area while the range is relocated in the island so the resident can face toward the main space and engage others in the main space.
The front and rear of this modern yet contextually influenced residence maximizes interior living space while creating outdoor living spaces in the rear and on the roof.
The high ceilings and open plan kitchen/living room allows easy movement, unobstructed light to enter the space and makes the space feel larger.
