INTERIORS & INTERIOR DESIGN
In this project , that dialogue is found in the living room and the kitchen , where the doors fully open : the porch becomes a dining room , and the dining room becomes an extension of the porch . The uniting element is a single chimney , projected in a symmetrical way , which is found in both rooms .
GIVE SPACE TO THE ESSENTIAL , WITHOUT SAYING IT
The dining room undoubtedly sits at the heart of the home and family activity . Like a jewel in the the designer ’ s subtle style of framing prominent areas , the space is crowned by a natural beam ceiling and is defined by one of two cupboards that mark the identity of the room .
In the kitchen – which covers almost the entire elongated space of the house – another cupboard is found in the form of a small office and breakfast area .
What one thinks ( opening yourself to the world ) and what one does ( celebrating the world ) are elements that the interior designer knows how to transition from thoughts to reality , with a symmetry of spaces being a mirror of fidelity between thinking and doing .
Connected to the dining room , the living room , with a television and an additional fireplace , offers moments of security and protection . Again , the designer creates a new interior-exterior projection here through doors that open completely to integrate the living room with a truly extroverted exterior : an exterior space with a purely Mediterranean-inspired white bench , accompanied by a fountain to refresh the surroundings .
With the same game of symmetries – vertical in this case – the upper floor contains the office , which is a versatile area for study and play that becomes a third living room .
