Not only is this kitchen sleek and sexy, but it was designed with ultimate efficiency in mind. “Two large cabinets fulfill all of the essential kitchen functions,” Mariana explains. “The cabinets were designed so when closed, they look as though they’re part of the décor,” she says. One cabinet contains the appliances: small dishwasher, electric oven, wine fridge, stainless-steel sink, coffee machine, toaster and microwave. The other cabinet serves as storage for glassware, cutlery, pots and pans, and pantry items. The cozy kitchen island features a marble silestone countertop, 21-inch induction cooktop and fridge. This island functions as the dining table, outfitted with stylish stools made of leather and iron. “The challenge was to design a space that could contain all the needs of a traditional house, within a very small space," Mariana says. "We wanted it to have an air of relaxed elegance, keeping in mind a masculine look for a single man.” I think all of you would agree: they’ve made one bachelor very happy.This loft also won first prize for "Best Resting Space" at Casa Foa, an annual architecture and interior design exhibition.More Loft Inspiration:Daring Style: Bedroom and Bath All in OneMerging Styles: Industrial Loft Meets Modern LuxeHouzz Tours: Urban Jewel Box, Geometry and Art in ChelseaWhen An Architect Designs for Himself
