"The design was driven primarily by the magic triangle
– the dynamic relationship between the sink, cooking center and
refrigerator," stated one of the architect Jeff Fearon. "At the same
time, the kitchen needed to work on a social level, as the heart of the family
living area. Effectively, we wanted the kitchen to provide the same views and
social interaction as the living room.
The architects started with the cabinet design. "The
dark marble and black rendered plaster elements form the kitchen's shell – a
cocoon that envelops the stainless steel cabinets," another architect Tim
Hay said, as provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials.
"The open-ended design creates
a kitchen in the round," claimed Hay. "It provides a bit of theatre.
But the layout means everyone can be involved in the production – there are
several workstations and more than one person can work at the same time."
"Every aspect of the design was a direct expression of the functionality," added Hay.
