It should\nextend within to the configuration and contents, and it should spill out to\nembrace the\nenvironment in which it is located. This philosophy is borne out in this\nproject which focuses as much on the interior development within and and the\ngarden without, as it does on the angular forms of the architecture."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"With\nchildren now grown and living away,\nthere was a desire to add a guest bedroom that could accommodate a family. A second floor guestroom was carved out of an\nattic space.

The kitchen cabinets and\nappliances were replaced and the layout tweaked for\nefficiency. The niche, which had served as a banquette, was repurposed as a\ncoffee bar, with a shallow\ntable and bench for grandchildren. Seating at the island is provided and allow\nfor interaction with the cook. The\ndisplaced function of the banquette was\nmoved to the opposite side of the kitchen, in a new addition pushed out into\nthe garden. A new dining table expands to accommodate eight adults, while\ngrandchildren occupy a shallow table and bench opposite the coffee bar.
