Total white kitchen in a modern classic setting

by Giulia | Apr 12, 2016 | KITCHEN, PRIVATE APARTMENT, STYLE TIPS

The renovation of this classic modern style apartment has introduced a total white contemporary kitchen. Located in centre of Bergamo, this apartment is characterized by large ceilings and classic modern style pf fixtures. White wood and decorative strips characterize the large window and glass doors. The closing strips of false ceiling added during the renovation, delimit the profile and they are matched to the fixtures. The walls are painted in a classic medium gray, on which stand out the shaped decorative profiles with the classic section. Its height is set on 120 cm. Placing in a modern classic context, the design choice was to provide for an essential kitchen with a contemporary style able to prove freshness to the interior.

THE KITCHEN

A total white kitchen that chooses Corian as the undisputed protagonist for the kitchen surface which naturally transforms itself into a snack bar surface. The shape of the kitchen, which is narrow but very long, allows the development of the furniture on one side, leaving the opposite one free for the insertion of a small service table and a free-standing design refrigerator. Made of an upper wall unit block and a lower container volumes with drawers, it is certainly the void created between that to attract attention. This holds the hob with gas burners, an extremely clean recessed sink at the corner and a back wall covering whit ceramic tiles. The latter, already present in the house, have been painted in white and the lighting hidden in the wall units creates plays of lively reflections. The painting of the walls is in this case white, creating an elegant contrast whit the floor of the whole house made in dark gress. Taking advantage of the corner position of the sink with its large design tap, the depth of the lower cabinet is used to insert basket containing products for cleaning and waste collection. This is a element rated very positively for its functionality by the inhabitants of the house. The countertop then continues to the back of the kitchen, turning into a surface used as snack bar with shelves above it. In front of this part there are containment niches with full-height doors that hide the department of laundry and closet. A solution that uses the empty spaces of the house to make up for the lack of a laundry and storage room. It’s a common problem in many apartments, that, although equipped with a large floor plan, do not have a fundamentally practical storage room.

Country style in a custumisez reinterpretation

by Giulia | Mar 23, 2016 | KITCHEN, PRIVATE APARTMENT, STYLE TIPS

We are used to design custum furniture, which best fit our interiors, but even the style can be customized in a modern country. To best satisfy our client’s country taste, we pop round to overseas farmhouse. Knobs for drawers unique in their own style, shaped baseboards with central voids, decorative bands on doors. For this project we lacked for nothing, even a trapezoidal-shaped extractor fan with a lower curved shape. A kitchen able to keep attention in each its detail, as the hand-woven curtain strictly in pastel red and white fabric that replaces the door under the sink. A bespoke container whose shape alternates sinuous shapes with linear profiles. Stylistic forms also recalled on the countertop with beige hue which in the back elevation assumes conformations with a strong stylistic taste. A country style that is personalised, shaped following the personality of its inhabitants. Here that the wall units flank shelves with different heights, alternating doors in matt lacquered MDF with glass doors with decorative strips. The classic cream-white colour undergoes a modern reinterpretation and is endowed with greater character with the add of a pastel gray-blue. As in an American farmhouse we let you discover its details with the photos below.

Reflections and opacity of an apartment in Milano

by Giulia | Dec 17, 2015 | KITCHEN, LIVING AREA, PRIVATE APARTMENT, SLEEPING AREA, STYLE TIPS

With a panoramic view of the Milan skyline, reflections and opacities takes place in the renovation project by the architects Pierluigi Fasoli giving life to a rigorous apartment. A house that prefers to hide rather than show. Large full-height wardrobes and doors with storage points that characterize both the living area with the contemporary kitchen and the hallways, and the bright and austere bedroom.

REFLECTIONS

A rigorousness however animated by the material choice to alternate glossy and opaque surfaces, in a play of reflections that characterizes all environments. Starting therefore from the kitchen, focused on the choice of glossy white lacquered MDF for wall units and full-height doors. In correspondence with the first horizontal band of wall units, the reflections are underlined using a bronzed mirror, also applied in the back surface. Contemporary appliances with metal surfaces also integrate in this context. These include the refrigerator and the recessed oven, the double sink with a contemporary large tap and the hob with gas ovens. The design line of the kitchen follows a setting that prefers horizontality with recessed handle and upper vasistas-opening wall units. The play of reflections also involves all the doors of the apartment, the glossy lacobel of a white colour tending to light gray. The bedroom also responds to a material choice aimed at lucidity, with large full-height wardrobes and a vertical division of the doors. These elegantly harmonize with the dove-gray colour painting, a rigorous chromatic combination used in contemporary years. Verticality also taken up in the division of the window from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of Milan.

OPACITY

The hallway with service wardrobe and the entrance area with storage doors mostly represent the opaque component of this alternation. The first, alternates the glossy surfaces of the lacobel doors with the service cabinet in matt lacquered MDF of the same colour, detaching itself from the turtle dove-gray of the background paint. A vertical division underlined both by the dividing elements of the doors placed at regular intervals each other facing the back surface, and in the rhythmicity of the cabinet’s doors. The entrance area is also characterized by the same choice of alternation and chromatic contrast, with a recessed storage element that emerges from the drove-gray background with opaque white doors. The result is a formal and stylistic balance, underlined both by the chromatic contrast and by the geometric rigor of the forms.
