Sleek and current by Susan Smart

Provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials, having taken up the project, designer Susan Smart renovated the featured kitchen in a chicer and sleeker profile which highly addressed the issue of light, flow and functionality.

"We removed walls to create one large, flowing space from what was once several rooms – the original kitchen, old butler's pantry, laundry and mud rooms, dumbwaiter space and dining area. This provided a much more open-plan kitchen and family living and dining area, and created space for a large butler's pantry."

"The wood veneer has a visual warmth that ensures the overall effect is not cold or clinical," Smart said.

"The drawers and cabinets are customized so everything is stored exactly where it is used," added the designer. "For example, the stainless steel drawers by the cooktop have wood inserts with divisions for ladles and other cooking utensils. And there are inserts with glass jars for oils, spices and dried goods."
