The design process: A Kitchen Nook

Here is a view of the garden, and some boards and ribbon showing a first look at understanding the mass of the proposed bay in the garden. The vertical closest represents an idea about a column for a roof structure over the back door. This column and roof structure turned out to be a bit damaging to the garden, taking away from the feeling of the space as a room. Also, we found that if the bay stayed under six feet from the wall, it still felt like it was a good scale, not too imposing on the garden. Even moving it a few inches farther made a huge difference in the feeling.
