To achieve all those goals, the Feinmann team conceived a floating box bay that completely transformed the space with minimal intervention. The team reconfigured the kitchen layout, moving the sink and storage from the back wall to an island adjacent to the back door. With the back wall thus opened, they built a cantilevered box bay window comprised of floor to ceiling glass on three sides, suspended over the garden.

The room feels much bigger, brings the outdoors in, and offers an additional 30 square feet for the new, intimate breakfast table area. In addition, the reconfigured traffic flow and island makes the entrance from the outside more generous and appealing, creating a useful transitional space rather than an abrupt entry into midst of kitchen.
