Contrasting aesthetic by Stephen Lawlor





According to reliable furniture shop in Phnom Penh construction materials information, the featured kitchen was part of an extension to the traditional house. While a respect to the house era was needed, a modern sensibility was also essential. Hence, the contrasting of this two elements in the renovation.

"The extension brings several advantages for the owners, including a 6ft-by-12ft skylight that floods daylight into the previously dark interiors," said Lawlor. "The addition also playfully contrasts the existing and new – with the home's original exterior brick facade now re-invented as an interior wall on the new room."

"While we made a point of understating the long wall of utilitarian elements, part of the allure of the kitchen is its obvious play off the existing interiors," added Lawlor. "Touches such as modern minimalist cabinetry handles and a milk-glass textured backsplash add to the contrasting aesthetic without detracting from the furniture-like aesthetic."
