Projet Guynemer Une chambre de service que nous avons transformée en tiny house sur les toits de Paris, face au jardin du Luxembourg, notre nouveau bébé minimaliste mais multi fonctions, rien ne manque ! La cuisine avec ses zelliges et sa vasque en marbre noir, comprend un frigo, une plaque, un four, un lave vaisselle et de grands placards de rangement. L’îlot cache la buanderie avec un lave linge séchant. Les deux tablettes rabattables permettent de profiter d’un côté dînatoire et d’un côté bureau, ou de dîner à deux et aux chandelles ;-) Derrière se cache une salle de bain avec sa porte miroir secrète qui permet de renvoyer la lumière, de démultiplier la sensation d’espace et les perspectives. Une grande douche à l’italienne, un meuble avec sa vasque en marbre noir elle aussi, des wc suspendus, un sèche serviette sculpture, comme une grande ! La verrière reprend le dessin de la fenêtre de toit en face, qui donne sur les toits de Paris. On peut admirer la Tour Eiffel en faisant sa toilette si on en a envie! Et quand on est à plusieurs, un store bambou permet de redonner son intimité à la pièce sans empêcher la lumière naturelle de passer. De l’autre côté de la pièce, très lumineuse car traversante avec une fenêtre coté cuisine et une fenêtre côté séjour / chambre, se déploie un ensemble de très belles menuiseries, qui composent une alcôve délicieuse, façon vanlife ultra luxe : sur une estrade, un grand lit deux places au matelas de qualité hôtelière, qui fait aussi canapé quand on reçoit : à gauche et à droite, deux tablettes peuvent même se déployer pour faire table basse, poser des verres, l’apéro ou un ordinateur (il y a des prises RJ45 partout où nécessaire). Quand elles sont refermées, ces tablettes font office de portes aux niches des deux grands placards sur mesure. Le premier contient le ballon d’eau chaude extra plat et ultra silencieux, une penderie, des étagères. De l’autre côté, une grande bibliothèque avec plusieurs tiroirs en partie basse. Elle se prolonge sur tout le mur jusqu’à l’entrée pour cacher le radiateur avec un placard ajouré dessiné par @projet_wabi_sabi , d’autres grandes étagères, deux autres grands placards dont l’un renferme la box, le compteur électrique et des prises pour le petit électroménager. En dessous, encore des grands tiroirs pour ranger plein de trucs. Et si on n’a pas tout casé avec tout ça, il reste un grand tiroir sous l’estrade et même une trappe secrète sous le matelas, façon coffre fort ! Les couleurs : un très joli beige doux et lumineux, du noir mat profond, le fauve du cuir et du cuivre, le caramel clair du bois et de l’osier.

The walk-in pantry, conveniently situated next to the kitchen, is a sunny, inviting space, painted entirely in Little Greene Bassoon. This warm hue envelops the room, creating a cheerful atmosphere. The pantry is thoughtfully designed with open base units that lack bottom panels, providing the perfect space to tuck away wooden crates on wheels for easy access. Above, open shelves with charming corbels are ideal for baskets and mason jars filled with dry goods, combining practicality with rustic charm. A white quartz countertop adds a crisp contrast to the room’s earthy tones. Beneath the bottom shelf, a wooden pot rack with s-hooks offers additional storage, keeping the space organized and efficient. This delightful pantry is a standout feature in the home.

Our Longford pantry in the H|M showroom in Felsted is a fresh take on the traditional English version of this vital ancillary room. Pantry, from the latin “panna” meaning bread, was originally a small room dedicated exclusively to the storage of bread and bakery items, however, by the mid-nineteenth century it had become a space for the general storage of dry goods Photo Credit: Paul Craig

Small transitional kitchen in Barcelona with flat-panel cabinets and with island.

A compact but convenient eat-in kitchen in this London townhouse. I love the ball-shaped kitchen pendant over the wooden dining table, adding a fun industrial edge, and the pull-out tap adds to that industrial touch. The built-in ovens are from Smeg, and I find them classically beautiful. We painted the units in a creamy-off white colour to keep it feeling warm, and tying in with the brass hardware of the knobs and drawer handles. The dark oak chairs compliment the flooring, and we matched the fabric of the roman blind to the chair seat cushions.

This kitchen was designed to be hidden away. Our clients can hold drinks parties and soirees without their kitchen being on show. A rolling library ladder makes full use of the 4metre ceiling height with extra storage. We took a mould of the original coving so the new cabinets look like they have always been part of the original room

This recently completed provenance by piqu kitchen design makes the most of the limited space available and whilst not the biggest project, everything has been included that you would need. Designed and handcrafted in our workshop in Orpington, the end result is very clean and uncluttered and we absolutely love the cool and calming colours from Farrow & Ball – Treron and School House White coupled with the brass fittings, lighting and Quorn stone floor chosen by our clients.
