This space provides visitors with all the functionality of a kitchen and living area while taking into account the minimal storage needs of guests. The linear kitchen is recessed below an open walkway on the second story of the guest house, while the living area benefits from a double-height ceiling. The use of paneling on the living room wall serves as a focal point while simultaneously mirroring the grid formed by the millions of the east-facing curtain wall leading to the outdoor deck. The primary sources of natural light are from the east and south, providing maximum solar efficiency to the space and making for a comfortable and economical design.
