Commissioned by a leading television production couple, the project included two key components: the addition of a new floor, and, more interestingly, relocation of the front door. We created a double-volume kitchen as the entrance foyer, leading off a welcoming courtyard. This secure space addressed the lack of solar penetration in winter. The kitchen now has its own courtyard bathed in sunlight, which also flows deeply into the dining room via high-level glazing.
