The Gathering Space
By extending the soffit across the entry to the back hall, the ventilation ducting was brought into code compliance while providing additional lighting. Pull-out base pantries were installed on either side of the range for easy access spice and condiment storage.
The support posts at the end of the island could not be removed. However by removing one of the 'decorative' shelves, the line of sight between the range and the sink was opened up for enhanced communications.
