"Like many older houses, the space had been positioned into a back corner as an afterthought, and a renovation some 40 years ago only perpetuated that physical and visual disjointness."
"When they brought us on, a secondary back door took up a large portion of wall space, and there was a radiator located along another wall that couldn't have base cabinetry. The designers suggested covering the door, nixing the radiator, and installing a larger window for more natural light."

A Craftsman home in Pittsburgh had a kitchen placed in a back corner and separated from the rest of the house. An earlier renovation did not resolve the physical and visual disconnect.

Original basement door and baseboards were preserved to tie the kitchen to the rest of the home.
