Raw Elegance: Crafting a Kitchen-Centric Home
The design concept for this project was deeply inspired by the client's admiration for the raw sincerity of construction materials and textures. Our journey began in the heart of the home - the kitchen, a space envisioned not just for culinary creativity but also as a vibrant hub for gathering and entertaining. This kitchen was to be the centerpiece, setting the tone for the rest of the renovation. As we collaborated closely with the client, our focus honed in on key elements like simplicity, airiness, brightness, and openness. The design narrative unfolded through the exposure of brick walls, the use of raw metals and woods in furniture, accessories, and lighting fixtures, each choice resonating with the client's aesthetic values. We struck a balance between the boldness of dark, raw materials and the elegance of accents in gold, bronze, polished chrome, complemented by a subtle yet ambient inductive lighting scheme. This approach resulted in a space that is not just a functional kitchen but a testament to a design ethos where raw materials are celebrated, and elegance is articulated in every detail.
