A modern family kitchen in an open-plan period home
An interior precedent for using a bold colored architectural threshold to connect a dark-cabinet kitchen zone to a luminous glazed rear dining extension.
- What we like about this project
- The vibrant red painted reveal of the structural opening acts as a dramatic spatial framing device.

- Timber frame domestic construction with steel insertion at rear extension opening.
- Spatial scale
- Human-scaled residential kitchen and dining space with standard counter heights and ceiling clearance.
- Lighting
- Soft ambient interior light contrasted with bright direct sunlight streaming through the rear sliding glass doors and overhead skylight.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, lively, and domestic, animated by natural daylight and strong color accents.
- Environmental context
- Domestic interior of a residential home with a visible rear garden view through full-height glazing.
- Spatial experience
- Grounded task space transitions through a compressed red threshold into a bright, daylight-filled dining and garden volume.
- Composition rhythm
