Kitchen Extensions with Angled Skylight Wells

An angled ceiling plane featuring an overhead skylight well directs daylight deep into the interior while dissolving the boundary between the kitchen extension and a private garden. Minimal-frame glass sliding doors frame views of the surrounding brick courtyard wall, anchoring the warm minimalist space with soft daylight and continuous connection to nature.

Interior living and dining space with a floating timber ceiling plane and perimeter skylights by Kennerly Architecture & Planning.

27th Street Residence

An interior living space precedent featuring a suspended timber ceiling canopy with perimeter skylights, creating a bright central volume ideal for open-plan residential design studies.

What we like about this project
The central timber ceiling plane appears to float independently beneath the structural roof due to continuous perimeter skylights.

Geometry
Longitudinal open-plan living and dining space featuring a suspended, low-slung timber ceiling plane flanked by continuous perimeter skylights.
Structural guess
Wood frame construction with perimeter steel or wood beams supporting the central dropped ceiling and roof skylights.
Spatial scale
Multi-zone domestic open-plan interior with double-height lateral light slots and standard residential ceiling heights.
Lighting
Bright, diffused daylight washes down from bilateral perimeter skylights, supplemented by recessed ceiling spotlights and pendant fixtures.
Atmosphere
Bright and airy yet grounded by rich wood tones and tactile leather furniture.
Environmental context
Residential interior opening up to an exterior rear deck and garden through large glazed doors.
Spatial experience
A warm, layered progression from the foreground seating area through the dining zone towards an open glazed rear exterior.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal progression emphasized by the linear timber ceiling plane running parallel to the polished floorboards.
