Summary
The central section of the house has been dedicated to the kitchen and dining areas. The kitchen sits in a semi-recess, cleverly defining its parameters without encroaching on the open-plan design of the overall space. The stainless steel of the kitchen contrasts beautifully with brightly coloured handmade Portuguese tiles by Ceramica de Bicesse. Effective storage solutions are key to the design of small spaces, especially in the kitchen, where storage has been incorporated on three levels. A stainless steel rail mounted onto the tiled splashback ensures regularly used items are kept off the main work surface yet within easy reach, while the positioning of the window allows the windowsill to be used as an extra shelf. Further storage is provided by open shelving that stretches the length of the kitchen area for easy access to crockery and other items. For [Peter Hulting], the interaction between the kitchen, dining table and exterior decking that almost appears to float on the grass outside is one of the most interesting aspects of his design. "It is a very interesting axis that is a contradiction to the structure and the design of the house," he says. At the far end of the house, classic designs, such as Bruno Mathsson's 1939 Sofa Mathsson [Källemo] and Jasper Morrison's Globall floor and ceiling lamps provide the perfect balance of old and new.
