Redefining Exteriors

What I love about design in the Pacific Northwest is the relationship of our living spaces to the outdoors. The best houses I have been in get this--they are designed with more purposeful glass, better connection of kitchen to backyard, and windows that frame important exterior features while being used to also make the interior space feel more spacious and integrated.

I truly encourage you to not just think about redesigning your kitchen but also create the connection to the exterior, the grill, the deck and think of it as part of your project. Include a mud space, a pass through, a connection that not only opens up your space to the outdoors but fills your space with cascading light and greenery.
