Harmonizing the two by Leon House and Mark Rietveld





Given a generous size, this house consists of two modern kitchens that do not clash, as provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials.

"Part of the brief for the kitchens was to continue the vernacular of the rest of the home," said one of the designer Mark Rietveld. "To this end, furniture-like cabinetry, wood veneers, and a linear aesthetic feature in both the indoor and outdoor kitchens."

"We repeated the makore veneer behind the splashback on the indoor kitchen," another designer Leon House continued. "This feature surface is centered on the cooktop on the island and the sculptural rangehood above."

"The cooktop is set on the island so the owners can talk with their children while cooking," added House. "A strip of mirrored bronze in the splashback means the adults can keep an eye on proceedings even when their backs are turned."
