Extensive approach by Mary Jane Pappas

Provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials, eclectic demands were what created the featured kitchen. Designer Mary Jane Pappas was given a nod in reconfiguring the space to become a breezier and larger area where an easy movement was required and a blend between the classic and contemporariness. 

"To achieve this, we pushed out the rear of the kitchen, adding a breakfast area for four in the extra space. Beyond this, I added French doors that open directly to the back garden. Previously there were only windows at this end of the room.

"The extended area had to contend with a low shed roof – however, we turned what might have been a negative into a plus by introducing a barrel vault ceiling that follows the unusual roofline."

"Now a corridor divides the majority of the kitchen from the new breakfast area, leaving the working area of the kitchen free for use by one or more chefs as required – this increased room to move was another request of the owners."

"The major appliances are strategically placed for convenience and to conceal the staircase structure that projects below the ceiling plane. A variety of cabinet storage systems responds to the requirement for good organization and helps keep the work surfaces clutter free."
