A long wooden kitchen island with seating at near end, wooden floors, open plan room, hanging lights with exposed beams and blue cabinetry on island. This airy kitchen forms part of a house that is cooled by passive ventilation. Clerestory windows and shutters vent hot air while the sliding doors bring in cool breezes at both ends of the open-plan space.
