吹き抜けから望むキッチンカウンターは水晶が90%以上用いられたクオーツストーン。
廻りの木質の柔らかさと相反するハードな素材が素敵なハーモニーを奏でています。家族の楽しい姿が目に浮かびます。

Asian influence in a contemporary kitchen that focuses on family. Family heritage infused into this contemporary kitchen for a young Asian American family. Large entertaining kitchen for a family that likes to cook. Simple cherry wood cabinets with slab doors. Asian style door handles and drawer pulls. Large stone eat in island.

Our brief was to create a calm, modern country kitchen that avoided cliches - and to intrinsically link to the garden. A weekend escape for a busy family who come down to escape the city, to enjoy their art collection, garden and cook together. The design springs from my neuroscience research and is based on appealing to our hard wired needs, our fundamental instincts - sociability, easy movement, art, comfort, hearth, smells, readiness for visitors, view of outdoors and a place to eat.
The key design innovation was the use of soft geometry, not so much in the planning but in the three dimensionality of the furniture which grows out of the floor in an organic way. The soft geometry is in the profile of the pieces, not in their footprint. The users can stroke the furniture, lie against it and feel its softness, all of which helps the visitors to kitchen linger and chat.
The fireplace is located in the middle between the cooking zone and the garden. There is plenty of room to draw up a chair and just sit around. The fold-out doors let the landscape into the space in a generous way, especially on summer days when the weather makes the indoors and outdoors come together. The sight lines from the main cooking and preparation island offer views of the garden throughout the seasons, as well as people coming into the room and those seating at the table - so it becomes a command position or what we call the sweet spot. This often results in there being a family competition to do the cooking.
The woods are Canadian Maple, Australian rosewood and Eucalyptus. All appliances are Gaggenau and Fisher and Paykel.

The couple loved the south pacific and wanted to capture some of the features of that architecture in their custom home. The ceiling panels, the teak wood, the sea colored granite all contribute to the feel.

“The kitchen’s color scheme is tone-on-tone, but there’s drama in the movement of the materials.”
