Modern open-plan kitchen and dining area opening to a lush walled
An interior project photo by JAAM Architects demonstrating how a sloping ceiling with an overhead skylight and large sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between a contemporary kitchen-dining space and a walled courtyard garden.
- What we like about this project
- The ceiling angle matches the sightline leading directly outward to the historic brick garden wall.

- Geometry
- An angled ceiling plane slopes upward toward a large linear skylight above the dining zone, connecting the internal kitchen space directly through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors to an outdoor courtyard.
- Facade system
- Minimal-frame full-height sliding glass door system connecting interior to rear garden.
- Structural guess
- Steel portal frame supporting extended roof structure with inset skylight cutout.
- Spatial scale
- Domestic single-story kitchen and dining extension scale, comfortable human proportions.
- Lighting
- Bright, soft daylight entering from overhead skylight and full-height rear glazing, casting gentle highlights across surfaces.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, bright, and deeply connected to nature through natural light and preserved garden views.
- Environmental context
- Urban residential setting featuring a private brick-walled courtyard garden with dense planting visible through the rear aperture.
- Spatial experience
- The interior flows seamlessly into the verdant courtyard, framed by dark mullions and illuminated from above by natural daylight pouring from the overhead skylight.
- Composition rhythm
- Framed aperture of the sliding door acts as a living picture window anchoring the dining and kitchen furniture layout.
