BATHROOMS & KITCHENS
" The kitchen design can be appreciated for having an almost floating expression , with a metal plinth that strikes a contrast to the body in solid oak wood ." a classic and timeless expression with subtle details that highlight both materials and composition through the use of contrasts , such as wood and metal .
The worktop takes on an elegant and similarly floating appearance thanks to its slightly raised position and the use of a shadow-groove trim , while the visible finger joints complete the impression of a classic cabinetmaker ’ s kitchen in a modern interpretation . A custom-designed shelving unit sits along the back wall , with concealed appliances by Gaggenau .
Reflecting on the finished result of her new Garde Hvalsøe kitchen , Anne Marie comments “ Our kitchen occupies a prime position in our living room , boasting views of the open sky , water , and Copenhagen harbour . Therefore , our choice of kitchen needed to seamlessly blend with the exterior architecture , while simultaneously standing out as a crafted piece of furniture . This natural integration with our existing furniture , art , and objects was essential .”
