Light-Filled Kitchen and Bath by Dan Brill Architects

Hampshire-based Dan Brill architects designed this gorgeous galley kitchen, complete with a solarium-style window that floods the interior with sunlight. Designed to maximize the available space, the kitchen and bath incorporate a few innovative tricks, including a continuous countertop/shelf/bench. Click below for more...

The countertop, shelves, and built-in bench are all part of the same continuous piece of folded timber that moves across the kitchen, emphasizing the horizontal lines of the space.

The bathroom also incorporates a skylight that opens up the ceiling. A mirrored wall and floating fixtures further add to the room's sense of spaciousness.

The kitchen, bath and dining area were all added in the relatively narrow side extension of an existing house. The back of the extension opens into the garden, through sliding glass doors.

A round table on the back patio provides another dining spot in good weather. To see the full kitchen, bath, and floorplan, visit Dan Brill Architects online.

Beautiful. I like how the shelves in the kitchen are not the same length, and one juts beyond the end of the counter. And the bench is a nice touch (I'd be tempted to put a narrow table in front of it... or maybe that outdoor table comes indoors sometimes?). But I'd like the kitchen much better if some of that shelf space had sliding glass (milky laminated glass) doors over it. There are too many things on the shelves for my taste.

I'd also like to know what wood the worktops are in. Lovely!
