the peninsula offers seating oriented towards the kitchen and backyard views by way of the new expansive 16’ long window. the custom-curved design of the peninsula is a feature that adds to the uniqueness of this sophisticated design.

The floor plan clearly shows how underused the existing space was.
the space has been transformed by eliminating a few walls and framing a new 16’ large window.
