The existing kitchen was closed off and separated from the living room. With only 1 window above the sink, it was also dim and lacked natural light. The porch was closed off from the living area and under utilized by the family. 

By opening up the living room into the kitchen and removing the porch wall, which created a dining area, the home is now more cohesive. Adding 2 large slider windows with an expansive 9' island, the kitchen is more functional with counterspace, storage and great natural lighting.
