Production Technology: The designer strategically removed several existing walls to transform a closed kitchen into an open-plan design with a spacious, seamless flow. The newly installed kitchen island serves as the hub of the house, providing ample storage with built-in drawers and cabinets. It doubles as a prep station, a dry kitchen for light meals, and a study spot for children.
Design Challenge: The multifunctional room features a desk and a raised platform by the window, functioning as both a study and a guest room. The glass partition wall allows for easy interaction while ensuring privacy with adjustable blinds when needed. The walls are delicately adorned in a composed gray finish, resulting in a serene, peaceful situation perfect for reading and relaxation.
Research: The communal spaces are adorned with slab tiles in white, gray, and black shades, harmoniously complemented by gray plaster walls, presenting a sleek and contemporary aesthetic. Warmth and relaxation are smoothly introduced through wood panels, flooring, and burnt orange soft furnishings, naturally cultivating a rustic solace.
Inspiration: The design leverages the project’s prime riverside location, features graceful French doors, a half-glass partition for the multifunctional room, and an open floor plan that seamlessly merges the living and dining areas with the kitchen.
