This 1940s kitchen was crunched by a lowered ceiling and too many dividing walls that blocked light. The false ceiling was removed and the girders were painted dark, allowing for height and amplitude. The same old checkered design was applied to the floor –as well as to the rest of noble areas—to keep uniformity. The kitchen furniture was designed in lacquered petroleum color. For the counters, while the walls were done in stainless steel, achieving a sober and functional look. The dishwasher and washer/dryer (piled up in the back cabinet) are hidden to maintain esthetics. Mirrors were placed on several walls to multiply space and light. The oval shape (echenike’s leit motiv) was used to design the skylight with Vitroblock bricks in a curved shape to provide luminosity, motion and protection. The skylight was also painted around to enlarge the visual space. The professional gas range kitchen adds the premium component that is indispensable to this room. The electrical pipes were conspicuously left as is to add a loft-like touch.
