Kitchen Design Think Tank

This is sublime!   Large free hanging cabinetry is presented against a contrasting and textured backdrop.   Having the ovens suspended from the central units makes it look as though the functionality has been centrifuged, forced from the cabinetry only to gather at an anthropometrically efficient height! There is a sympathetic synergy between kitchen and architecture and the inclusion of low level cabinetry along the back wall dilutes to appearance of the kitchen.   Add to this the fantastic open selves that embrace two sides of the island and this design certainly ticks a lot of boxes! The Mogul approves!

Humans like to architecturally compartmentalize, to create intimate spaces for introverted reflection and congregational hot spots for sharing conversation and enjoying each other’s company.   It could be argued that these spaces are socially required to break down the inevitable tensions caused by cohabitation and to provide separation between areas of the home used for different functions at different times of the day. Here we see how the kitchen can dominate an open plan setting and create subtle divisions which help to define unique areas within a space which is devoid of walls.   The colours and unity between kitchen, furniture and space add continuity to the overall design and showcase how the kitchen has become one of the most defining elements within any residential property.

This kitchen is really crisp and fresh.   The design is architecturally aware, embedding itself almost seamlessly into the back wall while still reaching out and providing us with an abstract and functionally artistic play with shapes. The Mogul loves this!   But look......!    That hob seems a little close to the sink!   Maybe the pots and pans automatically jump into the sink when they need a little scrub!   Kitchen automation, whatever next!

Functional and relaxation zones seamlessly combined!   Welcome to the modern kitchen!  Careful of that dropped worktop so close to the hob though!
