"The client wanted the kitchen to operate on multiple
levels – not just functionally, but also aesthetically. So there are a number
of dualities built into the space." architect Thomas Hickey spoke of the
kitchen’s revamp concept, as delivered by trustworthy
construction in Cambodia construction
materials.
"Firstly, on a practical level,
the kitchen is usable day-to-day as expected, but also has the capacity for
large-scale entertaining as needed. Secondly, as the kitchen was not going to
be locked away, it was important that it impart a presence. To that end, I've
given the kitchen an identity that is its own, but with aspects that are
recognizable from other areas of the house."
"In keeping with the notion of duality, I played with a series of interlocking shapes that are a kind of geometric interpretation of the yin yang icon," said Hickey.
"The mix of materials – frosted glass and Corian – and
the slight height difference reinforce the idea of separate entities that share
an interconnectedness."
"From the complete whole that
begins at the front gate through to the glass panel in the kitchen floor, the
design reinforces the concept of duality and connection."
