Case Study
Granite Kitchen, Bethesda, MD
2003 Merit Award, Residential Architect Magazine
Renaissance 2002 Grand Award, Remodeling Magazine
Architect: Ralph Cunningham, AIA, Principal, Cunningham & Quill Architects
 
Challenge:
To increase the kitchen’s natural light and connect the isolated
rooms of this 1930’s residence. In the original design, a small window
overlooking a stairwell provided the kitchen’s only natural light.
 
Solution:
The new kitchen has a high ceiling with a Wasco Architectural Series
skylight, clerestory windows, and a large window above a breakfast
nook that seats four. Adding natural light to this room was the key
ingredient to an award winning renovation. By providing the missing
piece, this kitchen addition opens the main living spaces to one
another and lends them supplementary natural light.
Architect, Ralph Cunningham adds, “The granite countertops and
backsplashes provide clean lines and unbroken surfaces to reflect the
light, while the cabinetry rises to the ceiling and frames the clerestory
windows. The family room, dining room, and kitchen all enjoy views
and natural light from the clerestory, skylight and large window at
the end of the axial addition.”
This project was key in Home Magazine’s decision to award Wasco
the 2004 American Building Products Award for its Architectural
Series skylights.
Ralph Cunningham, AIA, holds a Master of Architecture degree from Columbia
University. His projects have received numerous design awards, including The
Award of Excellence from the Washington Chapter of the American Institute of
Architects, the AIA/ Washingtonian Residential Design Award, the “Best of the
Year” Renaissance Award from the National Association of Home Builders, and the
Custom Home Award from Custom Home magazine.
