Kitchen Addition with Skylights in Kent, Ohio
Kitchen & Addition Project Overview
This Kent, Ohio kitchen addition transformed the layout and functionality of the home by expanding the existing kitchen space and creating a more open, connected living area.
DLR Construction removed an exterior wall and built an 18ft x 14ft kitchen addition that seamlessly extended the home’s footprint. The new space provided the extra room the kitchen was missing while improving flow, natural lighting, and everyday functionality.
This renovation included complete interior and exterior construction, allowing the addition to blend naturally with the existing home while creating a brighter, more inviting space for cooking, entertaining, and everyday living.

Expanding the Kitchen Through a Home Addition
The existing kitchen lacked the space needed for comfortable daily use. By opening the exterior wall and adding additional square footage, DLR Construction created a larger kitchen layout designed around the homeowners’ needs.
The new addition improved the overall flow of the home by creating a more open transition between the kitchen, dining, and living areas.
A well-designed kitchen addition can add valuable living space while improving both the functionality and feel of the entire home

Skylights: Adding Natural Light & Comfort
A standout feature of this Kent kitchen addition was the installation of two skylights.
The skylights introduced additional natural light into the expanded kitchen, helping create a brighter and more welcoming atmosphere throughout the space.
Along with improving the appearance of the room, skylights can help reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day and provide additional ventilation options.
The result was a kitchen that feels larger, warmer, and more connected to the outdoors.
Custom Kitchen Layout & Features

The completed design included:
Custom kitchen island construction
Island seating overhang
Built-in wall oven installation
Self-rimming sink installation
Improved workspace and storage
Better appliance placement
More efficient kitchen flow
The custom island became the centerpiece of the addition, providing extra workspace while creating a natural gathering area for family and guests.
