Kitchen Studio

A kitchen with a generous dining area that could bring a large family together during the evening meal, a very important time of the day, and a neatly ordered space that can meet our daily needs with ease; these were our clients desires and hopes for this project.

A kitchen design that had to have various flows and different work areas that needed to be integrated throughout the entire project. We aimed to optimize functionality, thus making a clear distinction between the dining area, the storage spaces and the countertop work surfaces.
Project Year: 2016
Project Cost: Less than $1,000
Country: Romania
The dining area is withdrawn from the paths of movement of the room and is the nearest to the natural light source. The corner sofa hosts spacious seating spaces and hidden storage as well. The wall finish on this side, with blue ceramic tiles, gives the space relaxing Mediterranean accents.
Dining Area

Kitchen Studio

Seating Area
The storage areas and the cooking counters are distributed along each of the walls.
Storage Space and Cooking Counters
The natural light source is nearest to the dining area.
Natural Lighting
Through the use of the artificial lights we wanted to create good visibility conditions for cooking after dark, and for the gathering of people near the seating area.
Artificial Lighting
Constrained to preserve the original alignment of the various kitchen appliances, we enclosed the cleaning and cooking area into an individual white frame, completed with white ceramic tiles.
Kitchen Studio
On the left side of the room, we decided to place the refrigerator, various storage shelves, both open and closed and the dining area, all conveniently placed on a blue ceramic background.
Kitchen Studio
On the right side of the room, the tall storage shelves make room for the white frame of the cooking and cleaning area. An open shelf is used in order to break the sleek surface of the closed shelves, exposing various items that might be used more often than others.
