The original kitchen in this rowhouse was all along one wall and had dark cabinets and a lack of counter space. By adding just 170 square feet along the back, we were able to expand the kitchen with an island and cabinetry on both sides and add a small sitting area. While the original sliding doors and transom allowed for natural light, adding skylights in the metal roof and tall sliding doors floods the room and kitchen with light. The sliding doors open to a new deck, providing great flow for entertaining.
