2階北側の最も斜線制限がきびしい場所。北側のダイニングキッチンは、幅2870・奥行4320の約8畳のスペース。お施主さんが所有されているテーブル・チェアを手前に配置して、奥にキッチンを設えようとすると、納まるキッチンカウンターの幅は、2870から通路幅を除いた残りの寸法＝約2050となり、いわゆるシステムキッチンの既製サイズ（w2400など）では収まらず、空間をうまく使えません。そこで、キッチンカウンター・キッチン背面収納とも、完全に特注のフルオーダーとして、詳細に検討。カウンターはステンレスバイブレーション仕上げのシンク一体型、キッチンの腰壁はフレキシブルボードのザックリした質感、お施主さまがご要望されるガスコンロ・オイルガードやシンク、水栓器具、食器洗い機などがピッタリ納まるようにしました。また、それぞれの引き出しの幅・高さ・奥行寸法も全て、お施主さまの収納イメージに応じたカタチに設えて、背面収納もご購入予定の冷蔵庫やお気に入りのゴミ箱などがピッタリ納まる寸法に。ダイニングテーブル上部に吊るすペンダントライトについても、食事をする時に適切な高さとなるコードの長さを検討したり、とにかく、寸法に関して、一切の妥協を排して検討を行いました。

水盤のゆらぎがある美と機能　京都桜井の家

COLOR LABEL DESIGN OFFICE / 殿村明彦

水盤のゆらぎがある美と機能　京都桜井の家古くからある閑静な分譲地に建つ家。周囲は住宅に囲まれており、いかにプライバシーを保ちながら、開放的な空間を創ることができるかが今回のプロジェクトの課題でした。そこでファサードにはほぼ窓は設けず、中庭を造りプライベート空間を確保し、そこに水盤を設け、日中は太陽光が水面を照らし光の揺らぎが天井に映ります。夜はその水盤にライトをあて水面を照らし特別な空間を演出しています。この水盤の水は、この建物の屋根から樋をつたってこの水盤に溜まります。この水は災害時の非常用水や、植物の水やりにも活用できるようにしています。建物の中に入ると明るい空間が広がります。 HALLからリビングやダイニングをつなぐ通路は廊下とはとらえず、中庭のデッキとつなぐ居室として考えています。この部分は吹き抜けになっており、上部からの光も沢山取り込むことができます。基本的に空間はつながっており空調の効率化を図っています。 Design : 殿村明彦 (COLOR LABEL DESIGN OFFICE) Photograph : 川島英雄

Kitchen with White Benchtop and Wallpaper Design Ideas

There’s a lot to consider when it comes to planning your kitchen design. Where do you even start? Gathering some inspiration in a photo gallery is always a good starting point, as looking at different kitchen designs often brings up ideas you haven’t even thought of yet.

Browse Photos of Kitchen Designs for Inspiration and Collect Your Ideas

You can browse through photos of all kinds of kitchen styles, layouts and sizes on Houzz to get started before jumping into any design software or contacting a local professional for help. Here’s a few considerations to keep in mind when planning your kitchen.

1. What Makes a Good Kitchen Design, and Why is it Important?

For starters, you want to find a balance between aesthetics and function. You may have heard of the ‘kitchen work triangle’, which refers to the space between your fridge, sink and stove. You want everything within easy reach when you’re working in the kitchen and look beautiful at the same time. It’s a good idea to take note of both when browsing our photo gallery.

2. Consider Your Space to Determine Your Kitchen Layout

Firstly, consider the space you have, and the limitations that come with it. Do you have a small kitchen and need to maximise your workspace and storage? Can you allow yourself some more space and a big island with seating? Are you designing your kitchen from scratch or renovating an existing design? Which appliances do you already own and what are their measurements? Are there windows you need to take into consideration when planning cabinets? How do kitchen, living and dining areas connect? Depending on your space and needs, you want to use a shape that suits you. U, G, or L-shaped kitchen, with or without island or peninsula? Know your dimensions, plan cabinetry carefully and consider the placement of your appliances. You don’t want to end up with a finished design, only for your significant other to question where the fridge is supposed to go. Consider from the start where your fridge, oven, microwave and sink goes to save yourself from starting again from scratch - remember the kitchen work triangle! You also want to plan the layout of your cabinets. Maybe you’re planning for a pantry and can do with less storage space in your kitchen, so that your design can be one without upper or lower cabinets for a different look. A corner cabinet can be a smart storage solution if you want to keep the look clean and simple.

3. Decide on a Kitchen Style, But Don’t Forget Practicality

You want the style of your kitchen to reflect your personality and taste. We have curated a large array of kitchen styles here at Houzz, from traditional to contemporary to transitional and everything in between. Consider what your cooking style is for a start - Italy is known for its cuisine, so italian kitchen designs are generally popular. Also consider ergonomics - depending on how much time you spend in your kitchen, the height of your counters can make a big difference to your overall health. You also want to consider colour and finishes of cabinets, countertops and splashbacks. Which colour do you want your cupboards to be? Simple, timeless white or rather making a statement in black? Maybe rather a rustic wood? Also consider the colour of your floor - if you have dark floors, you may want to keep cabinets lighter. You could also go for an all-white look and choose black appliances for contrast. Once you know which style you fancy, don’t forget how you will be using the space. You want to keep cooking in mind, as well as how easy to clean and maintain the space will be. How many cooks do you need to accommodate? Do you have kids around? How much storage do you need? Maybe you want to go for open shelves rather than cabinets and allow for easy reach of key items you use when cooking. Again - remember the triangle! Lastly, choose lighting that both enhances the look of your kitchen as well as your cooking performance, providing light in all the right places.

4. Be Conscious of Your Budget

No matter what you plan for your kitchen design, cost is always a big factor. Be sure to plan with your budget in mind. It may make more sense to go for a modular kitchen design rather than custom build. You can save a lot of money if you get at least 3 estimates from professionals before locking in the job. And don’t forget to allow a 20% buffer for emergencies. Once you are ready to hire a pro, our directory will help you find one, no matter where you are. So whether you're looking for an Interior Designer in Melbourne or an Architect in Sydney, you can be sure to find a qualified expert for the job!
