Quality detail by Jan Gleysteen

Delivered by trustworthy construction in Cambodia construction materials, one way to exploit a traditional setting is to introduce a busy feel. And in order to bring about the sensation, attention to detail is called for as the presented kitchen demonstrates.

"The large 60in cooktop is the heart of the kitchen – the arch detail makes it look like an old-world hearth. Cabinetry to right and left is bookended by pilasters that form pull-out spice shelves, detailing that is repeated on the island. In addition, the cabinets have an undulating quality – some stand slightly proud, while others are recessed." architect Jan Gleysteen stated. 

"Base cutouts on the sink cabinet are part of a furniture look in the kitchen, suggesting it has been drawn together over time. The mahogany island provides a contrast to the white hand-glazed wall cabinets – both in finish and counter depth – adding to the gathered-together effect."

"Everything is also subtly scaled – the arch over the breakfast counter is built to the height of someone sitting at the breakfast table."
