The cabinets designed by Santos capture the essence of tradition found in the kitchens of yesteryear , while adapting to modern-day needs . This is why the cabinets effortlessly blend into the rustic architecture characterised by thick stone walls and wooden beams .
EVERYTHING ACCESSIBLE , TIDY AND IN VIEW
Great occasions call for large spaces , and large spaces require the right equipment . This is the basic idea that inspired a refurbishment that respects the original spirit of the property . The outcome is that the kitchen with its island has become the large space called for , where any gathering around the table easily turns into a great occasion .
The size of the space made it possible to add a large central island between the storage area and the dining table . The work area is divided by hydraulic flooring , which defines the area and differentiates it from the oak flooring in the rest of the property .
The kitchen is organised around a central island , housing areas for washing up — with Blanco fittings and sink unit —, preparation — with an Amarula worktop in a Vintage finish by Levantina Naturamia — and cooking — with Teppan Yaki grill and gas and induction hobs by Gaggenau —. It also includes a comfortable breakfast bar with Magis Steelwood stools and lots of easily accessible storage solutions
The top drawers , made of walnut , have a modular base that makes it possible to integrate pull-out and interchangeable accessories such as cutlery trays , spice racks , knife trays , roll holders , containers , kitchen cloths and so on .
