L Shaped Kitchen









This kitchen has quality written all over it.  The materials and appliances used are luxurious and this is matched by good design thinking.  There is a solid appreciation about who will use the room and how they will use it.  Aesthetics, functionality, social interaction and mood have all been considered!

The kitchen is the dominant feature of this open plan and multi functional space and the L-shaped island is designed to match and service the architectural layout of the room.  There is clear demarcation between functional and social areas and there are clear spaces connecting each social zone. 

This kitchen by Dream Design places the cook in the centre of the action enabling them to interact with family and guests in both the dining and living areas almost simultaneously!   The designer has paid special attention to ensure the sink was placed on the dining room side of the island allowing for easy access to the sink and dish washer after every meal.

There is continuity here with the materials chosen for the kitchen finding their way into the social aspects of the overall space.  Add to this some mirrored panels, a concealed TV and a jaw dropping array of “bling” appliances and you certainly have an impressive room in which to entertain your guests!

Think about it!

Style Peacemaker

To mediate is to broker agreement and here we see a kitchen becoming a style peacemaker.   The industrial architecture sets the contemporary scene aptly aided by the exposed ventilation system which has been laid bare through the calculating incisions made by an architect’s drafting pen.   Light is allowed to penetrate and contradict the industrial space through more classically styled windows, casting shadows that have been polluted by the traditional influence of Georgian frames. The kitchens detachment from the floor is aesthetically powerful but it also shows how we have become scientific in our approach to functional furniture design.   We have learned that it is difficult to reach things at floor level while standing up straight!   The introduction of layers, shapes and warm light helps to soften the surroundings without confusing the picture.   It can be argued that the kitchen designer has been sensitive to the architecture while providing a ...

Functional Revolution Through Artistic Evolution

  Amongst the chaos there is order! And here we see a vibrant mix of functional art that inspires the onlooker to delve deeper into this design and realise the complex levels of thought that have inspired such a flagrant disregard for convention. Excitement can be conjured by the exotic, and this design by Gitta Gschwendtner for Schiffini floats the notion that functionality can become an artistic experiment.   To some this may just be a series of boxes but to others this could be seen as an attempt to deliver a functional revolution through artistic evolution. The Mogul approves!
