Il giallo usato nella cucina riprende i colori del pavimento in graniglia e incornicia il vecchio camino a contrasto con il nero usato per il battiscopa di tutti gli ambienti.

Le projet Un appartement sous les toits avec une cuisine ouverte dont l’agencement est à optimiser, et une entrée donnant sur le réfrigérateur. Notre solution Organiser la cuisine en modifiant les meubles pour gagner de l’espace et intégrer le réfrigérateur non encastrable Smeg. Le mur d’en face avec un radiateur placé en plein milieu et le compteur est repensé : un coffrage en bois habille le radiateur et un placard menuisé dissimule désormais compteur et petits rangements. Une banquette est réalisée sur-mesure et positionnée devant le cache-radiateur en bois, ce qui permet de gagner de la place. D’élégantes petites tables bistrot, plateau marbre et piétements en cuivre en rappel des luminaires apportent un esprit très déco à l’ensemble. L’entrée maintenant dégagée du réfrigérateur est finalisée avec un superbe papier-peint au motif de nuages, que vient compléter une console vintage agrémentée d’un portrait ancien. Du côté de la salle de bains, le meuble vasque jusqu’alors peu fonctionnel est finalisé avec des tiroirs menuisés en placage bois. Le style Le charme de cet appartement très déco et féminin est conservé dans la cuisine afin de prolonger le séjour. Le bleu déjà présent sur les murs guide le choix du papier peint et les tissus de la banquette. Le placage bois du cache-radiateur permet de garder un esprit raffiné et chaleureux.

In the kitchen where circulation and function also provide room for lounging, the patterned marble splashbacks with smaller sections of handmade tiles are a successful weave of texture, pattern, and form. American oak on the kitchen island softens the tile, marble, and flagstone in play. Overhead, a large, nautical themed glass globe presides. Everywhere, banks of drawers, shelves and cupboards abound, painted in eye-resting tones reminiscent of the nature outside.

We designed this cosy grey family kitchen with reclaimed timber and elegant brass finishes, to work better with our clients’ style of living. We created this new space by knocking down an internal wall, to greatly improve the flow between the two rooms. Our clients came to us with the vision of creating a better functioning kitchen with more storage for their growing family. We were challenged to design a more cost-effective space after the clients received some architectural plans which they thought were unnecessary. Storage and open space were at the forefront of this design. Previously, this space was two rooms, separated by a wall. We knocked through to open up the kitchen and create a more communal family living area. Additionally, we knocked through into the area under the stairs to make room for an integrated fridge freezer. The kitchen features reclaimed iroko timber throughout. The wood is reclaimed from old school lab benches, with the graffiti sanded away to reveal the beautiful grain underneath. It’s exciting when a kitchen has a story to tell. This unique timber unites the two zones, and is seen in the worktops, homework desk and shelving. Our clients had two growing children and wanted a space for them to sit and do their homework. As a result of the lack of space in the previous room, we designed a homework bench to fit between two bespoke units. Due to lockdown, the clients children had spent most of the year in the dining room completing their school work. They lacked space and had limited storage for the children’s belongings. By creating a homework bench, we gave the family back their dining area, and the units on either side are valuable storage space. Additionally, the clients are now able to help their children with their work whilst cooking at the same time. This is a hugely important benefit of this multi-functional space. The beautiful tiled splashback is the focal point of the kitchen. The combination of the teal and vibrant yellow into the muted colour palette brightens the room and ties together all of the brass accessories. Golden tones combined with the dark timber give the kitchen a cosy ambiance, creating a relaxing family space. The end result is a beautiful new family kitchen-diner. The transformation made by knocking through has been enormous, with the reclaimed timber and elegant brass elements the stars of the kitchen. We hope that it will provide the family with a warm and homely space for many years to come.
