Old and new by Christine Julian





As successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials informed, designed by Christine Julian, the above kitchen achieved a transitional profile of a traditional and modern aesthetics in the right proportion.

"We shortened and squared up the kitchen, ending it with the new peninsula – providing a break between the working and living spaces," said Julian. "A hall access door was closed off on the other side of the kitchen, and on the resulting new wall space we introduced a stainless steel refrigerator, flanked by cabinetry with zebrawood countertops. Other stainless steel appliances further the modern aesthetic."

"To find a balance between the old and the new I chose classic Prairie features – but with a twist," added Julian. "For example, the pendant lamps look like Shaker pieces, except they are finished in white frosted glass rather than art glass, and framed in nickel instead of bronze. Similarly, the cabinet doors are Shaker style, but have wider, more modern frames.
