" So -- and Teresa come up with any ideas and got some such a nice backyard to expand the house and --"
" Well we thought that too but in fact Bob. This distance from defense to the house is 24 point nine feet which is essentially 25 feet required by the Dade county zoning code. As a setback bouquets -- no room to expand so you're already built out. Where they'll shame because I was so we're gonna have a nice little area adhered it. He then have just general find out here but now you can't do it."
" What another problem from the perspective of expanding the house in this direction as the -- have such a low. Pitched roof that comes right through here and you know what you do if you do expand that group continues how do you deal --"
" Bob I saw that as a problem also because I was -- what we were gonna do with people that slice it off how are we going to resolve the roof. And certainly couldn't angled down to nothing are there any solutions around the corner there certainly are. And I thought it was really natural when I looked at the plan of the house to expand the house along the length this -- Because it seemed naturally that the kitchen would come out. You're let -- seven point five foot set back here and that leaves us with approximately ten feet texture for the kitchen yeah. Which we felt was nice and would be in scale with the house sitting."
" Create a space that goes out ten feet and often that direction what about fourteen effect on that direction this thirteen point six yeah. How do you deal with rules and angles and and design when you've got -- gable end like this."
" Well. We are going to resolve that but at this time what we thought was that that angle of the new addition -- contrast with the existing angle. So we were planning a roof that was higher. That was at its highest point where this man has its lowest points and -- some drugs regularly I would do inside let's get. Okay. Let's recent. This is where we were. Once we finished figuring out."
" But we can do that's when I'm began Lawrence so this is a plot plan that shows -- drive way Howell lay out in this of the bump that will become the new kitchen. That's correct what's on this."
" Well we were inspired by tropical fruits and this banana -- in particular. So we at a -- inclusion which is permitted by the because it doesn't have a roof. In the form the banana pants and evidently that often breaks like that."
" And creates what you've taken. -- that's very neat."
" And here in this larger than you can see again the banana leaf screen enclosure. And the kitchen plan itself so this is the bump out over here."
" Correct and what we -- also was a banana shaped you encounter dirt eat on counter. And the kitchen cabinets themselves. Here. This fall. Is more or less of functional wall having the TV the desk in the pantry and refrigerator in the perspective you might be able to see -- it clear. Where it again the banana leaf famous carried out on the edge of its wall which just look at. And it doesn't hit the ceiling through here you're looking at the kitchen you're looking west this is the banana counter. And this is actual working kitchen. Everything is stained greens. -- not very bright green but green that give you lift when you look in the kitchen. I like this when you get. Here's the green. You see the inside color of a fruit like -- may or papaya so every time we peers through the green you'll see a bright tropical color."
" In this new space that we're creating beyond the existing wall. We're gonna have a sort of sealant write to think the angle of the roof will be the reverse you're saying of the exist bachelorette here."
" In this perspective you can get it as appears -- through. The wall and you can see that it's much higher inside the new kitchen. "
" And through all the existing glass we get a hint of what we're talking about terms of the screen enclosure how we can build such. Will the -- will be inside an actual structure will be outside so it wouldn't we be using bamboo poles. To create a trellis."
" That's true and -- above and bamboo verticals. More decorative construction. Because the screen enclosure also will have its own vertical members that are laden. Pretty exciting how great."
