ENSURE CONNECTIONS TO THE OUTDOORS

Writer: John RelyeaJohn Relyea

Increasing visual transparency helps any space feel larger and more open. It facilities views, and increases daylight penetration into the kitchen. We achieve this increased transparency by: minimizing or eliminating upper cabinets in the open areas of the kitchen; and increasing the density of storage along the outer perimeter (with special attention on using this element to also define space and frame views). Pro Tip: If you are renovating an existing kitchen, you may be inspired to remove an interior wall or increase the opening size of an existing exterior wall. Be sure to work with a design professional to help ensure that you maintain the structural integrity of your kitchen (and home!) for any major structural work.
