Bungalow Kitchen with bench seat
The previous layout allowed a small table in the kitchen, so designing space for family dinners and entertaining guests was high on the list. The kitchen has a built-in bench seat facing the island to sit and chat with the cook, and the new dining room opens onto the deck and garden, perfect for summer gatherings. Windows and doors were designed to allow natural light and views of the garden to fill the dining room and kitchen, while providing privacy from neighboring houses.
