This home addition integrates a modern kitchen and living spaces while enhancing the existing design. The kitchen mirrors the house’s original bump-out, extending it further to form a cohesive U-shape. The decision to form a U-shaped layout not only maximizes space, but also optimizes the flow of natural light and air across the galley kitchen. Large windows wrap around the room, flooding the space with natural light and offering views of the new outdoor patio. The sleek, minimalist design of the contemporary kitchen features white cabinetry from Porcelanosa and a stainless steel countertop and appliances. A focal point is the expansive window over the sink that connects the interior out to the backyard.
The extension also incorporates a well-designed patio area with stone paving and colorful outdoor furniture that brings a playful element into the otherwise neutral palette of the kitchen. This outdoor space boasts a cantilevered roof overhang that connects directly to the kitchen through large sliding doors, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living. The combination of spaces provides a peaceful yet expansive backdrop for meals, lounging, and social gatherings. The sense of continuity between the kitchen, dining, and patio areas makes this home addition feel like an extension of the original space, rather than an afterthought.
On the other side of the house, the addition of a pop-up window above the front door further enhances the home’s visual appeal, offering another playful architectural component and a unique way to access more daylight. Demonstrating how thoughtful design can enhance both the function and aesthetic of a home, the addition blends seamlessly with the existing structure while introducing new, modern elements.
