A lot of designs are more complicated than they look. This one relies on push-to-open fridge and freezer. That’s not why I’ve included it here, and nor is the colour scheme (although I do like the metal accents). It’s the shaped colour change in the island worktop, which sometimes I’ll use to account for a Read More …
Part of the idea here was to defy symmetry. Floating effects are also an important ingredient: no horizontal fillers, height changes and inserts, and the suspended island extension. Varying worktop thicknesses is one of the ways I’ll sometimes deal with worktop joins in very large islands. Rendered in ArtiCAD.
I don’t know what’s happened to fitted bedrooms. They were a significant part of MFI’s mass-market business, but when MFI went away, while others – especially the German brands – took up the slack in kitchens, nobody seems to have done the same for bedrooms. It’s taken for granted that kitchens will be fitted, but Read More …
The wooden door I’ve used here is a thick, textured veneer, like chunks of bark: not much fun to clean, but unending pleasure to look at. Rendered in ArtiCAD.
“Sugar cube” is what a friend of mine likes to call all-white kitchens, whereas I prefer to think of them in terms of ice. Perhaps that says something about each of us. The breakfast bars, about as thin as you can get, are glass. Rendered in ArtiCAD.
Accessories make a huge difference. The underlying design has its inspired parts, though. The island is one of my favourites. Rendered in ArtiCAD.
This complex design has too many parts to capture in one render, but this has the spirit. There are several different handleless solutions in view, and the blade-thin worktops are Dekton sintered stone, which is nearly indestructible. The beautiful render is in ArtiCAD.
This was interesting. I wanted to include one of my favourite renders in the slideshow on this site, but its proportions didn’t fit well: its perspective was pretty forced already, and stretching it made it – I felt – uncomfortable. The original was in 2020 (the software, not the year), to which I don’t have Read More …
