Mask mandates and rising interest rates (the Fed’s up to something!) make it a great time to take a breath of fresh air, especially indoors. To help let the sunshine in, Neighborhoodist presents open-concept kitchens by Stephen Dalton Architects (SDA), the Solana Beach-based firm that won San Diego Architectural Foundation’s Orchid Award for its project The Duke in 2017.
