A kitchen of experimental allure by Douglas Dick

Provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials, with a scientist as an owner, the featured kitchen design to be more of an experimenting area rather than for family cooking time as architect Douglas Dick stated.

"This is a kitchen expressly designed for experimentation. The client, a research scientist in the biomedical industry, has a passion for molecular gastronomy. This highly scientific way of cooking is reflected in every aspect of the design. For example, the kitchen incorporates gas jets, Bunsen burners, a compressed air valve and a liquid nitrogen tank for the instant freezing of food."

"The client is really attracted to vibrant colors, and red has a sports car quality that really appealed," Dick said.

"The contrasting surfaces set up a visual dialogue between the natural materials, such as the wood and stone in the bar area, and the highly polished man-made materials – the stainless steel, glass and aluminum," added the architect. "There is another contrast between the crisp nature of the kitchen cabinets and the curved, organic form of the bar. This has a more sensuous look, which is in keeping with the sensual nature of the red."
