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!

Functional Thinking

Purity is a desirable attribute especially if used to disguise complexity!  This design manages to encourage a lingering desire to admire, the type of art gallery presence that demands quiet contemplation to fully appreciate.  By cleverly layering simple linear forms and combining a reserved colour palette this under stated design could be considered a masterpiece of functional thinking! Think about it!

Functional Fabric

The modern kitchen has become an iconic symbol of fashionable style.   It is therefore appropriate that kitchen designers should now keep their eye firmly fixed on the latest textiles and fabrics to grace the runways of Europe especially now that fabric doors can be specified in their next kitchen design! The Meccanica Kitchen by Valcucine evaporates the traditional rigidity of kitchen installation by using an innovative frame work system that can be transported easily, can be assembled by the end user and is 100% recyclable.   It even comes with an end of life cycle “take back guarantee” whereby your old kitchen will be collected, sand blasted and re-coated so that it can re-enter the production cycle!   Oh yea and did The Mogul mention that the doors are fabric!! The Mogul knows that this is going to be a huge hit with the more Eco conscious inhabitants of the planet as the concept dramatically reduces the  carbon footprint of a kitchen. ...

Celestial Island Cluster

Managing to understand and control proportion whilst delivering exemplary functional performance and unrivalled aesthetic impact is a skill which kitchen designers continually hone. Sitting majestically in the centre of the room this island cluster presents itself like an elevated alter of style complete with a ceiling drop that can deliver celestial messages direct to the Gods of design! Soft approachable geometry and the precise sightline and functional arrangement ensure that the impressive architectural scaling must cower down in the presence of this functional master piece. An island is one thing, but if you have enough space why don’t you let your imagination explore the endless possibilities of multi-island arrangements. The Mogul Approves!
