The ceiling change and sink placement dictated one boundary of the kitchen. A bigger interior opening and new exterior glass doors now connect the kitchen to the backyard’s mango, avocado, and lime trees. “We couldn’t make the house bigger, so how could we make the rooms feel bigger?” asks Engelsman.
