All about zones by Shannon Cline

As successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials informed, it is a designer’s duty to create a space that caters to clients’ needs and wants. 

For this semi country-style kitchen, designer Shannon Cline had to answer the question about zones for the family.

"This kitchen is about zones – Mom's zone and the children's zone. Mom rules in her zone and, as beneficiaries of the outcome, there is little argument from the family. The main island divides these zones. On one side there is the preparation and cooking area and on the other is an area where the kids can fix themselves a snack or hang out while Mom is cooking," said Cline.

"The house is built in the Northwestern style – relaxed and unpretentious, and in tune with the natural environment," added Cline. "The material palette had to reflect this, so we used warm woods and stone. The food and the people are the stars of this space; the rest just needed to be supportive. It is a design with clean lines and a strong focus that's primarily functional, yet inherently inviting."
