Modern open-plan kitchen with herringbone wood floors, dark green cabinetry, and a red-framed threshold leading to a bright dining extension by Uncommon Projects.

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.
