A House with a Slide
An interior precedent for a rear kitchen extension that leverages an exposed brick party wall and continuous overhead roof glazing to flood the open-plan dining and kitchen space with natural light.
- What we like about this project
- A dramatic beaded chandelier hangs near the blue island, contrasting with the utilitarian exposed brick and industrial roof lights.

- Geometry
- Linear open-plan room featuring an island counter aligned with a dining banquette along a long, high stock-brick wall under a sloping roofline with overhead glazing.
- Structural guess
- Load-bearing masonry side wall with steel or timber roof framing supporting overhead glazing.
- Spatial scale
- Generous residential scale with a high ceiling plane following the roof pitch, accommodating a multi-seat island and dining table.
- Lighting
- Bright diffused daylight washing down the brick wall from overhead roof lights, supplemented by warm task and picture lights.
- Atmosphere
- Welcoming, warm, and sunlit, balancing rustic brick texture with crisp modern cabinetry.
- Environmental context
- Interior residential space, likely a rear ground-floor kitchen extension opening to the sky via roof glazing.
- Spatial experience
- A bright, daylit volume where the high brick wall and overhead linear skylights pull daylight deep into the ground-floor living area.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating roof rafters and overhead glazing mullions establish a rhythmic ceiling pattern that mirrors the horizontal joints of the stock brick wall.
- Style reading
