Shedding Light on an Open Interior
From Margaret on June 30th, 2010 in Kitchen Remodel
Creating enough space for a family of four in an apartment can be a challenge—especially a space that combines functionality with order and style. Amsterdam’s i29 Interior Architects achieve all of that in this bright and open space. The firm changed the original layout by eliminating small divided rooms for household staff, and opening up the space.
Innovative kitchen cabinetry
With white epoxy flooring, white spray-painted doors and unpainted pinewood throughout, this space is light and airy. The exposed staircase can be seen throughout the open living area, and open shelving provides easy accessibility to items while contributing to the cool simplicity. The lazer-cut font panels divide the kitchen from the living area and provide kitchen cabinetry, the holes serving as handgrips for the cabinet doors.
A view into the kitchen shows the open and natural aesthetic, eliminating the need for extra furniture or storage, and providing art through structural design. The unusual geometrics in this dwelling provide order, functionality and even decor. Not much is needed beyond the unusual bones of this light and open space. And in a country that boasts some serious winters and indoor time, light and open is good.
