This soulful kitchen in the heart of the house was designed in collaboration with the owners.
Its warm combination of colour, wood, curves and handmade clay tiles makes the space light and inviting. The cosy nook is a favourite place to sip a cup of tea, read or chat.
Everything was well considered from the upstand to keep herbs and oils to the pantry for storage and the placement of compost and recycling bins.
The result is an inviting space that's functional and inspiring.
A few months after completing the retro-modern kitchen for our clients, they approached us with a new request—to construct a shelving unit that would harmonise with the retro-modern style of their new kitchen. This shelving unit was intended to house books, the TV, a stereo and turntable, some tapes and vinyl records and some other smaller equipment.
The shelving unit was designed to occupy the green wall next to the old fireplace while maintaining a light and airy feel. So we developed a modular design that incorporates an interplay of open and closed backing for the modular cubes.
The central open space was specifically allocated for the TV. Some of the equipment is hidden behind sliding doors to maintain a tidy, mostly equipment-free look. To the left and right of the base unit, two larger open spaces are designated to accommodate the speakers. The remaining cubes serve as storage for books, plants, and collected treasures.
