“We considered the subtle changes in the habitual experiences within the apartment and developed a palette of materials to enhance and blend with those moments. In the kitchen, the cooking zone follows the principles of a classic open fire cooking hearth with its stone surround, while the storage and refrigeration zones are detailed following the principles of stand alone furniture pieces. Each of these items are connected by a central island which was inspired by the minimalism of a classical refectory table. In the bathroom each of the elements are expressed to reflect each individual purpose. The finer details generate a sense of quiet retreat and a connection to natural materiality.
We developed two material palettes to complement our approach; an indigo scheme with soft cloudy shades and a khaki scheme which is contrasted with gentle putty shades. The finishes are both matt and textural which brings a warmth and naturalness to the physical qualities of the interiors.”
