LUXURY KITCHEN DESIGN – THE MYERS TOUCH
Designers : Keith & Helena Myers , The Myers Touch
THE MYERS TOUCH KITCHEN BRIEF
The clients specific design objectives were for us to incorporate both aesthetics and functionality into their design . With 2 young girls and a huge Great Dane dog , materials needed to be very durable and consumables kept well out of harms way !
With 90 % of their eating to take place in the kitchen , careful consideration had to be given to the style , position and comfort of the seating . Preferring a modern minimalist look but with a warm and inviting feel , we were to avoid creating places , which could accumulate clutter whilst avoiding a feeling of blandness . Importantly was the use of state-ofthe-art technologies that would be a joy to operate and would capture the hearts and imaginations of the user .
THE CHALLENGE
The challenge was to create focus and flow in what is a particularly large space , which serves the combined purpose of kitchen , casual dining , study , casual lounging and the dogs sleep area .
We designed a very practical kitchen in view of the young children and of course their exceptionally large dog ! Accessibility and layout incorporated clever storage ( including a hidden pantry ) that makes it easy for everyone to have a space for the things that matter to them whilst ensuring that food is protected within dog-proof zones . The kitchen defines the best use of space and to safeguard the ‘ cook ’ from the flow of traffic generated towards other areas of the room .
