VIVIENDA_C47

eltejadoazul - reformas e interiorismo

La reforma comienza por un desmantelamiento casi total del sistema de divisiones de la anterior casa, creando una tabula rasa en búsqueda de la mayor expresividad y ligereza de espacios. En ese proceso de retroceso a lo radical de lo constructivo se retiran del mismo modo cerramientos, como el que rodeaba la terraza (con apariencia más bien de pequeño patinillo), además de la piel del sistema estructural de pilares con vigas descolgadas. "La condición por parte del cliente fue que los materiales fueran muy expresivos hasta llegar a su forma casi brutalista. Los nuevos materiales son el hierro natural y la madera de pino", explica Cristina Cucinella, arquitecta del estudio. A estos nuevos materiales se les suma el hormigón visto, sacado a la luz de la estructura original. La nueva organización de la vivienda será secuencial, eliminando cualquier posibilidad de espacio residual, reduciendo lo espacial también a su máxima sinceridad: una estancia te lleva a la siguiente, sin pasillos, sin distribuidores, empleando como únicos conectores la luz y la materialidad, y como divisores, la gradación de usos. De este modo, en la parte central de la vivienda se situarán el estudio y el baño, como una pieza neutra, intermedia; en la zona de acceso y junto a la luminosa terraza, ahora liberada de los muros que la rodeaban, se colocarán en "L" la cocina-comedor y el salón; al final de la casa, en el lugar más tranquilo, los dos dormitorios. El espacio de uso más nocturno se abre con dos grandes ventanales al exterior, inundando de luz los dormitorios. Casi como un juego de niños, sendas cajas de madera hacen de "balcón interior", salvando las irregularidades de la planta y creando un habitáculo dentro del habitáculo. Recuerda a aquellas casitas que hacíamos de niños, con los grandes cojines del sofá de casa de nuestros padres, cuando queríamos cobijarnos. El pavimento, también de madera pero de una blancura que potencia la luminosidad de los dormitorios, se orienta en diagonal, siguiendo el recorrido de la luz. En el centro, como charnela, la zona de estudio y baño se neutraliza, mostrándose en un bicromatismo blanco-negro, y situándose en el punto medio de los dos extremos en tensión El espacio diurno funciona como una vivienda patio, gracias a ese doble carácter de la nueva terraza: se vuelca hacia sí mismo, y se distribuye por su propia geometría en dos partes diferenciadas sin necesidad de divisores. La potente isla de la cocina y su continuidad en mesa de comedor hacen de esta pieza diseñada a medida su centro, mientras que en el ángulo se sitúa la zona de estar. Desde aquí parte un plano continuo de almacenamiento, correspondiente al muro medianero, que atravesará y conectará toda la casa. En la cocina-salón será una estantería de madera de pino; al cruzar la puerta pivotante que separa del área central de estudio, se convertirá en los armarios y espacios trastero. Grandes planchas correderas de hierro cierran el almacenaje, sobrepasando sus límites y prolongándolos más allá, hasta la estantería de madera en un extremo, y hasta las cajas de madera de los dormitorios. La intervención de El Tejado Azul es sencilla, lógica, sincera. Al mismo tiempo, resuelve las necesidades de sus clientes, y también sus deseos y caprichos. Pero no sólo eso... tiene algo más. Te puedes imaginar abriendo puertas secretas, refugiándote un día de humor raro con un libro en una de sus cajas de madera. Este hogar hace feliz a quien vive allí, se puede encontrar la ilusión de una vida resguardada en sus estancias, y ése es un material que la arquitectura jamás debería olvidar.

Kitchen with Concrete Worktops and a Drop Ceiling Ideas and Designs

Want to discover beautiful kitchen ideas to inspire your new kitchen design? You’ve come to the right place. You can discover millions of kitchen designs and ideas; from kitchen islands and storage units, to all sorts of kitchen lighting ideas, such as pendant lighting or under cabinet lighting. Whether you want inspiration for all-in-one fitted kitchen designs, some small kitchen ideas or maybe just some tips for improving your kitchen decor, there are tons of photos to inspire you for your next kitchen project on Houzz.

What kind of kitchen design should I go for?

With so many kitchen ideas and photos to look at you might be a bit overwhelmed when it comes to picking your own kitchen design. If you are updating your kitchen you know what a big and important decision it is to get the design right – the kitchen can be the hub and heart of the home, and it’s unlikely that you would invest in renovating your kitchen again in a few years. But fear not, focusing first on the important elements like layout, cabinet style, worktops and appliances will help you to bring together your dream kitchen design. Additional elements like kitchen lighting, cupboard storage and decor can come after in the kitchen planning process. A kitchen designer or fitter can help you to decide the layout of your kitchen in terms of where to place your kitchen units, appliances and island (if you’re having one), but if you prefer to handle this yourself you can focus on where you want your key elements of your kitchen to be – the oven, hob, sink and fridge. Of course you might be constricted by space, but try to envisage the easiest and most efficient layout based on how you usually like to cook and prepare your food. If you’re fed up of always having to carry dirty pans and pots across the room to the sink, place the sink closer to your oven and hob. Once you have the core elements sorted, consider extra layout considerations, such as where your bins will be stored, where the cutlery draw should be and where small kitchen appliances can be installed.

Should I include a kitchen island?

Kitchen island ideas are abundant these days; it seems most kitchen designs include a kitchen island, if not multiple islands. However, if the layout doesn’t work, especially if you have a small kitchen, then there’s no necessity to add in a kitchen island. You can add a breakfast bar or counter to your existing kitchen units, or stick with a good old-fashioned dining table if you don’t need the extra work surfaces. That said, if you do have the room, take a look at some kitchen island ideas to see if the designs inspire you for your kitchen. There are a huge variety of island designs to cater to different needs – you can have sinks, ovens, hobs, wine storage and all sorts of drawers and organisers built-in, you can have separate bars and counters that extend from your island, or you could go for a kitchen island on wheels to make your kitchen layout more versatile.

How do I choose my kitchen units and cabinets?

When picking out kitchen units and cupboard styles for a fitted kitchen, you’ll first want to consider the more practical questions – how many units do you need? How many cupboards and drawers do you need? Do you need extra kitchen storage built into your units? It’s always best to overestimate how much kitchen storage you’ll need as we all tend to have a habit of filling up whatever current space we have to the maximum. Next you can consider kitchen cabinet style and colour. Shaker style cabinets and raised and recessed panel cabinets offer a more traditional kitchen cabinet look, while flat panel cabinet doors tend to lend more to the modern and contemporary style. However, going for raised or recessed panel work in a striking colour such as dark blue, green or black can still work with contemporary kitchen ideas. White kitchens can give a sleek and clean feel, but remember you may have to do a bit more cleaning of those cupboard doors if you want everything to stay shiny and fresh. Of course, grey kitchens are the neutral colour choice du jour and can be paired with pale and rich shades alike if you want your fitted kitchen cupboards to contrast with your worktop, splashback, floor, or all of the above. Exposed shelving and storage is also popular for eclectic, Scandi and industrial-inspired looks, so you could opt for glass-fronted cabinets or no wall-mounted cabinets at all. Remember that this will require more restraint in what you can store and more effort in keeping it looking presentable compared to what is stored away hastily behind cupboard doors. The kitchen cupboard handles are also another element to decide upon – do you want traditional round knobs, modern metal bars, country kitchen cup handles or maybe to go ultra sleek with a completely handleless kitchen?

What kitchen storage ideas should I consider?

If you want to keep your kitchen well-stocked and well-equipped but don’t want it spilling over with clutter, then you’ll need to rely on good kitchen storage. Apart from the usual fitted kitchen cupboards and drawer space, there are many other ways of keeping your kitchen tidy. Whilst a large kitchen pantry is the dream of most homeowners, it can’t always be a reality. However, there are now lots of pull out compartments and drawers with trays and shelving that can act as mini kitchen pantries, and you can install handy cupboard organisers that fit onto the inside of the door to make the most of your cupboard space. You can also look at corner drawers and cupboards that open up to reveal lots of extra storage. Rails or small shelves along your kitchen walls or splashback can help with hanging utensils or pans, or storing small items like herbs and spices in an usually empty space.

Are there small kitchen ideas for small spaces?

If you’re working with a galley kitchen, a one-wall kitchen in an open plan space or just a pretty small kitchen, there are some small kitchen ideas that can help you get the most out of your cooking and dining area. If you find that you don’t utilise the back of your cupboards (maybe they become the graveyard for out-of-date tin cans), you could decide to go with shallower kitchen units to free up some extra floor space in front of your cabinets. As mentioned, open shelving or glass-fronted cabinets are a popular trend and they should make the space feel more open and less boxed-in. However, if you have the capacity for it, cupboards and kitchen units that maximise the floor-to-ceiling space you have will mean you can use all of that for valuable kitchen storage. Wall or ceiling racks could be a useful solution for hanging pans and pots if you’ve run out of cupboards in which to store them. Kitchen ideas and accessories such as baskets, trolleys and storage jars are both aesthetically pleasing and practical as they give you extra storage space. Kitchen appliances like a fridge or dishwasher can be tucked away in built-in units in fitted kitchens so they blend into your layout and don’t make the space look crowded. Discover all the small kitchen ideas you could need by taking a look at photos of compact kitchens.

What sort of kitchen lighting should I go for?

In the kitchen you need to have practical lighting – no one wants to chop, cut and cook in a dingy room. Kitchen ceiling lights are probably the best way to go, but should you opt for recessed spotlights or traditional hanging ceiling lights? While spotlight LED kitchen lighting will give you excellent light, they may not fit with a design that’s not contemporary. Traditional chandelier lights could work for other kitchen styles, and of course, kitchen pendant lighting comes in all sorts of styles, colours and designs. While the popular choice is to go with one or two pendant lights over your kitchen island, you could also opt for a single pendant light over your dining space, or a few spaced out across your kitchen. Of course, if you want good lighting for your worktops, under-cabinet lighting is the way forward. Speak to your kitchen supplier about having this pre-installed, or there are a number of easy-install options you can fit yourself or with the help of a lighting expert or electrician.
