Specification

Exposed Joist Ceilings in Glazed Kitchen Extensions

A contemporary residential extension defined by a rhythmic sequence of exposed ceiling joists and an overhead glazed roof light that floods the kitchen and dining zones with daylight. Full-width folding glass doors establish a seamless physical and visual link between the warm timber-lined interior and the adjacent rear garden.

Interior Design & Cabinet Making

A residential kitchen interior precedent demonstrating the use of an arched structural threshold to frame custom sage cabinetry and rich marble surfaces.

What we like about this project
The intense red-brown veining of the marble backsplash and island top contrasts sharply with the muted sage green joinery.

Geometry
One-point perspective framed symmetrically through a deep arched structural opening looking into an open kitchen with island and tall cabinetry along the back wall.
Structural guess
Load-bearing masonry opening with timber frame interior floors.
Spatial scale
Intimate residential scale; ceiling height standard for a domestic interior.
Lighting
Soft, balanced interior ambient light supplemented by decorative pendant fixtures over the island and task sconces along the back splash.
Atmosphere
Calm, refined, and inviting with a harmonious natural color palette.
Environmental context
Interior residential space viewed from an adjacent connecting room.
Spatial experience
The deep archway creates a strong sense of threshold and compression before opening into the brightly lit, domestic kitchen space.
Composition rhythm
Framed view using the foreground arch as a repoussoir element balancing the vertical lines of the tall green cabinet and island.
