An open-style kitchen in post-modern design by Linda Brettler

According to reliable furniture shop in Phnom Penh construction materials information, mindful of the need in being family-oriented and entertaining, owner-architect Linda Brettler refurbished the above kitchen in a semi-modern approach that is open to the outdoor nature.

"We wanted to make the kitchen much bigger and lighter, so we took over the space formerly occupied by a maid's room and an old pantry. We created one large living space that we can open up to the sunny rear yard with big French doors. This gives us views in all directions, including a particularly pretty view of the landscaped garden."

"I didn't want to sacrifice the idea of the older house entirely, however," the architect said. "I still liked the idea of keeping some point of reference to the original rooms, by giving each space its own flavor."

"The entire family living area needed a punch, and I could see that red would set off everything. It works with the black and white, and also with the woodwork and the vintage light fixtures. It even sets off a large art work to good effect."
