Kitchen
Kitchen/dining is a family hub and needs to capture their views to exterior as they are eating, doing homework, working in the kitchen, etc. Also, being open to the exterior for entertaining and catching summer breezes. I envision their kitchen/bar seating and dining table can also run longitudinally along the exterior wall to really have a central program take advantage of the views. The finishes aren't accurate for the family, but I like the spatial idea.
The traditional, yet country feel to the material palette--white cabinets, grab handles, board ceilings, rich floors
