This is a good example showing how we can utilize drawers underneath the kitchen sink. This makes it a lot easier to organize and access your cleaning products, plus you get two levels of storage instead of just one. Notice the pretty dovetailed drawer joinery.

Singapore - Modern Zen & Geomancy (HDB Exec Maisonette)

nOtch lifestyle + design pte ltd (singapore)

Zen’s minimalism is often misconstrued in Singapore as “lesser works involved”. In fact, the key to Zen is to ensure sufficient and strategically placed storage space for owners, while maximising the feel of spaciousness. This ensures that the entire space will not be clouded by clutter. For this project, nOtch kept the key Zen elements of balance, harmony and relaxation, while incorporating fengshui elements, in a modern finishing. A key fengshui element is the flowing stream ceiling design, which directs all auspicious Qi from the main entrance into the heart of the home, and gathering them in the ponds. This project was selected by myPaper生活》家居to be a half-paged feature on their weekly interior design advise column. Photos by: Watson Lau (Wats Behind The Lens Pte Ltd)

Ebenholzküche

KOELNMOEBEL

Bei dieser Küche galt es den Küchenbereich von der Diele und dem Wohnungseingang zu entkoppeln, ohne die Räume voneinander zu trennen. Die Küchenmöbel wurden farblich passend zu den antiken Zementfliesen lackiert. Die Fronten sind seitlich schräg geschnitten, unten und oben jedoch gerade, so dass ein interessantes Fugenbild entsteht. Im Hochschrank steckt rechts ein 200kg tragender, voll heraus ziehbarer Schrank, der locker das Alltagsgeschirr in sich birgt. Die robuste Arbeitsplatte ist aus solidem Edelstahlblech gekantet, das Becken nahtlos eingeschweißt. Auf der hinteren Aufkantung steht bündig eine hochglänzende Holzrückwand mit eingelassenen Steckdosen. Der praktische Schwallrand an der Arbeitsplattenvorderkante verhindert, dass Vergossenes auf den Boden tropft. Der dreiteilige Hängeschrank ist mit goldschimmernden Zitronenholz furniert und transparent lackiert. Die Regalform und die Glastüren betonen die Offenheit und Großzügigkeit des Raumes. Die beidseitig - ebenfalls Zitronenholz furnierte - nutzbare Theke vereint viele Funktionen: links ragt tief die Spülmaschine in ihren Körper, mittig teilen sich Küchen- und Thekenschrank die Tiefe und rechts füllen 80cm lange Schubladen die ansonsten schlecht nutzbare Ecke der Küche aus. Dabei manifestiert sie auf Grund der Materialwahl und ihrer Höhe den Übergang von der Küche zum Wohnbereich.

ダウンフロアリビングの住まい

加藤淳一級建築士事務所

ダウンフロアリビングが特徴的な住まいです。三方が住宅に囲まれた密集地で、道路より敷地が約40㎝高くなっていました。その敷地の高低差を利用し、リビングの床の高さを低くしています。通常は、敷地が高い場合、玄関前のポーチ階段により、数段上がって家に入ります。荻曽根の家では、家の中で徐々に上がるようにしました。そして、2階の床も少し上げています。 2階の少し床をあげることにより、1階と2階のつながりが生まれ、下記の点のメリットがでています。・視線の抜け、広がり感・家族間のコミュニケーション・風の抜け・採光をとりやすくなるリビングは、南側からの採光を高窓から主に採り入れています。隣家からのプライバシーも保ちやすいです。さらに、視線の抜けや広がり感を演出し、1階と2階で家族のコミュニケーションも取りやすくなっています。

Japanese Inspired Remodel in Noe Valley

Mark Brand Architecture

The design of this remodel of a small two-level residence in Noe Valley reflects the owner's passion for Japanese architecture. Having decided to completely gut the interior partitions, we devised a better-arranged floor plan with traditional Japanese features, including a sunken floor pit for dining and a vocabulary of natural wood trim and casework. Vertical grain Douglas Fir takes the place of Hinoki wood traditionally used in Japan. Natural wood flooring, soft green granite and green glass backsplashes in the kitchen further develop the desired Zen aesthetic. A wall to wall window above the sunken bath/shower creates a connection to the outdoors. Privacy is provided through the use of switchable glass, which goes from opaque to clear with a flick of a switch. We used in-floor heating to eliminate the noise associated with forced-air systems.

Un'altra vista verso la cucina. Per ottimizzare gli spazi anche gli elettrodomestici sono stati ridotti all'essenziale: i fuochi a induzione sono 2, un microonde sostituisce il classico forno. Il frigorifero è piccolo e si trova nel mobile che separa la cucina dal letto. Sotto i fuochi abbiamo infine posizionato la lavatrice. La lavastoviglie, trattandosi di un piccolo monolocale, non è stata installata.

Asian Kitchen with no Island Design Ideas

There’s a lot to consider when it comes to planning your kitchen design. Where do you even start? Gathering some inspiration in a photo gallery is always a good starting point, as looking at different kitchen designs often brings up ideas you haven’t even thought of yet.

Browse Photos of Kitchen Designs for Inspiration and Collect Your Ideas

You can browse through photos of all kinds of kitchen styles, layouts and sizes on Houzz to get started before jumping into any design software or contacting a local professional for help. Here’s a few considerations to keep in mind when planning your kitchen.

1. What Makes a Good Asian Kitchen Design, and Why is it Important?

For starters, you want to find a balance between aesthetics and function. You may have heard of the ‘kitchen work triangle’, which refers to the space between your fridge, sink and stove. You want everything within easy reach when you’re working in the kitchen and look beautiful at the same time. It’s a good idea to take note of both when browsing our photo gallery.

2. Consider Your Space to Determine Your Kitchen Layout

Firstly, consider the space you have, and the limitations that come with it. Do you have a small kitchen and need to maximise your workspace and storage? Can you allow yourself some more space and a big island with seating? Are you designing your kitchen from scratch or renovating an existing design? Which appliances do you already own and what are their measurements? Are there windows you need to take into consideration when planning cabinets? How do kitchen, living and dining areas connect? Depending on your space and needs, you want to use a shape that suits you. U, G, or L-shaped kitchen, with or without island or peninsula? Know your dimensions, plan cabinetry carefully and consider the placement of your appliances. You don’t want to end up with a finished design, only for your significant other to question where the fridge is supposed to go. Consider from the start where your fridge, oven, microwave and sink goes to save yourself from starting again from scratch - remember the kitchen work triangle! You also want to plan the layout of your cabinets. Maybe you’re planning for a pantry and can do with less storage space in your kitchen, so that your design can be one without upper or lower cabinets for a different look. A corner cabinet can be a smart storage solution if you want to keep the look clean and simple.

3. Decide on a Kitchen Style, But Don’t Forget Practicality

You want the style of your kitchen to reflect your personality and taste. We have curated a large array of kitchen styles here at Houzz, from traditional to contemporary to transitional and everything in between. Consider what your cooking style is for a start - Italy is known for its cuisine, so italian kitchen designs are generally popular. Also consider ergonomics - depending on how much time you spend in your kitchen, the height of your counters can make a big difference to your overall health. You also want to consider colour and finishes of cabinets, countertops and splashbacks. Which colour do you want your cupboards to be? Simple, timeless white or rather making a statement in black? Maybe rather a rustic wood? Also consider the colour of your floor - if you have dark floors, you may want to keep cabinets lighter. You could also go for an all-white look and choose black appliances for contrast. Once you know which style you fancy, don’t forget how you will be using the space. You want to keep cooking in mind, as well as how easy to clean and maintain the space will be. How many cooks do you need to accommodate? Do you have kids around? How much storage do you need? Maybe you want to go for open shelves rather than cabinets and allow for easy reach of key items you use when cooking. Again - remember the triangle! Lastly, choose lighting that both enhances the look of your kitchen as well as your cooking performance, providing light in all the right places.

4. Be Conscious of Your Budget

No matter what you plan for your kitchen design, cost is always a big factor. Be sure to plan with your budget in mind. It may make more sense to go for a modular kitchen design rather than custom build. You can save a lot of money if you get at least 3 estimates from professionals before locking in the job. And don’t forget to allow a 20% buffer for emergencies. Once you are ready to hire a pro, our directory will help you find one, no matter where you are. So whether you're looking for an Interior Designer in Melbourne or an Architect in Sydney, you can be sure to find a qualified expert for the job!
