This house's previous dark, tight kitchen was relegated to a back corner and served neither the needs of the homeowners, who are accomplished chefs, or their small children. In the comprehensive remodel, several rooms are united into a single space that seamlessly works as kitchen, pantry, hall storage, study, and secondary dining. A large opening added across the entire north wall ensures that the exterior garden, which was rarely used formerly, is now an everyday, inviting part of family life.
