Très jolis WC d'invités, dans des coloris noir et blanc. Un joli carrelage sol à cabochons rétro chic, sur lequel les accessoires poubelle et brosse wc murale ont été assortis avec soin. Un petit lave-main blanc avec sa crédence noire, agrémenté d'un joli miroir ancien argenté travaillé. Le wc suspendu a une chasse d'eau très originale puisqu'elle est posée sur la tablette, et non contre le mur ! Des placards sur-mesure, peints et avec de jolis boutons noirs carrés, ont été installés en hauteur afin d'en profiter pour créer du rangement. https://www.nevainteriordesign.com/ Lien Magazine Jean Perzel : http://www.perzel.fr/projet-bosquet-neva/

Design ideas for a medium sized scandinavian l-shaped enclosed kitchen in Paris with brown splashback, cement flooring, grey floors, brown worktops, a built-in sink, flat-panel cabinets, white cabinets, laminate countertops, cement tile splashback, black appliances and a breakfast bar.

To dwell and establish connections with a place is a basic human necessity often combined, amongst other things, with light and is performed in association with the elements that generate it, be they natural or artificial. And in the renovation of this purpose-built first floor flat in a quiet residential street in Kennington, the use of light in its varied forms is adopted to modulate the space and create a brand new dwelling, adapted to modern living standards. From the intentionally darkened entrance lobby at the lower ground floor – as seen in Mackintosh’s Hill House – one is led to a brighter upper level where the insertion of wide pivot doors creates a flexible open plan centred around an unfinished plaster box-like pod. Kitchen and living room are connected and use a stair balustrade that doubles as a bench seat; this allows the landing to become an extension of the kitchen/dining area - rather than being merely circulation space – with a new external view towards the landscaped terrace at the rear. The attic space is converted: a modernist black box, clad in natural slate tiles and with a wide sliding window, is inserted in the rear roof slope to accommodate a bedroom and a bathroom. A new relationship can eventually be established with all new and existing exterior openings, now visible from the former landing space: traditional timber sash windows are re-introduced to replace unsightly UPVC frames, and skylights are put in to direct one’s view outwards and upwards. photo: Gianluca Maver

Our clients had inherited a dated, dark and cluttered kitchen that was in need of modernisation. With an open mind and a blank canvas, we were able to achieve this Scandinavian inspired masterpiece. A light cobalt blue features on the island unit and tall doors, whilst the white walls and ceiling give an exceptionally airy feel without being too clinical, in part thanks to the exposed timber lintels and roof trusses. Having been instructed to renovate the dining area and living room too, we've been able to create a place of rest and relaxation, turning old country clutter into new Scandinavian simplicity.
