Name: Field Report Architecture
Address: North Kingstown, RI, 02852, US
Telephone: +1-206-843-6262
Price range: $$$

A 1,000 sq ft ranch-style home on Orcas Island, comprehensively redesigned for a professional chef and a young family. The design relocates the kitchen to the center of the plan, converts an 8-foot wraparound porch into the main living connection between inside and outside, and introduces three skylights and exposed roof trusses to a room that had neither.
