THE BRIEF

Creating a Luxury Open Plan Kitchen within an apartment in Miami’s financial district was a distinct challenge. Our professional couple wanted more space, in a minimal style with Italian inspiration. The space needed to be functional, livable, and future-proof.

   THE DESIGN

As this was a kitchen/living room – it was important to ensure we didn’t have too much stainless steel on display. So, we used an integrated fridge freezer. This hides the finish behind cabinetry doors and provides a sophisticated backdrop.

The couple are busy professionals who work long hours. And we know they’ll want to catch up after a long day at work. So, we introduced some seating within the kitchen- a wooden Spekva piece of wood supported by a glass structural frame. This allows for one person to cook while the other speaks to them and shares a drink.

To keep to the client’s minimal design request- we introduced wood veneer paneling. And we ensured that the island had no handles. Overall, it blends in perfectly with the rest of the room

The client wanted a partition of some kind between the kitchen and the sitting room. And so, we designed a partition of wood and glass that would them some privacy. This was a sophisticated way of dividing the room without losing sunlight and disconnecting the room altogether. To ensure there was some continuity – we ran some walnut veneer throughout the Luxury Open Plan Kitchen.
