ROBERTS KOLDERUP HOUSE

This modest kitchen remodel reconfigures a relatively dark and cramped space into a sunfilled and modern kitchen.  Tall windows, a large skylight and big doors connect this space to a vibrant new permaculture garden in the rear.  The new design incorporates a previously unused 78 square foot side yard and turns a space wasting hallway into an efficient open-shelf pantry. 

The defining move for this project is the wall to wall Kalwall skylight filled with Aerogel insulation.  The skylight floods the new breakfast space with daylight.  The Aerogel modulates both the sunlight and heat, eliminating glare and temperature extremes typically associated with skylights.  Restoring the kitchen’s dropped ceiling to its original 11 foot height allows for more vertical storage and also brings daylight deeper into the space.
