Project Name
Cozy retro chic
We created an unconventional kitchen for a Munich family: The floor plan freely merges the cooking, living, and dining areas into one another and yet it has nooks and crannies.
Other design elements of the kitchen were done in shades of brown: The combination of slatted fronts on the wall units, also made of smoked oak, with brown glazed metro tiles along the rear wall niche creates an eclectic mix of styles. A brown, marbled natural stone, so-called leathery Marròn Emperador, lends the unusual combination a colourful touch. The kitchen fronts contrast with a fresh mint colour. They are given a rustic twist thanks to black steel handles made by a metalsmith.
This creates cozy zones, which in turn have been carefully connected to each other via visual axes. This is why the U-shaped kitchen niche is only fitted with half-height kitchen units: From the TV room, you can see down to the kitchen thanks to split-level architecture. There, you can gaze at the garden while cooking, or at an additional kitchen furnishing, a solid bar board in smoked oak.

If you look closely, you can see how the mix of styles continues in the dining area. Here too, the rear wall of the dining area has been panelled with a slatted wall. A fireplace from Schinharl invites you to linger.
Entranceway, passageway, access
A key niche was designed along the opposite wall, which is lined with Italian tiles and is an eye-catcher in the entrance area. So, the key will - hopefully - never be forgotten.
A well-utilised entrance area is half the battle. It not only can storage space, but can also express a personal style in a catchy way the moment you enter. A framed passageway was created by cladding the wall and ceiling with solid-coloured yellow MDF panels with a matt finish. The slotted grid visually extends the tunnel-like entrance and echoes later design elements in the kitchen and living room. A guest bathroom is located behind a frameless integrated WC door. The storage space is also used as an integrated cloakroom.
