Visual balance by Luis Ibarra and Teresa Rosano

Provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials, designed by Luis Ibarra and Teresa Rosano, the photographed kitchen’s inspirational concept was a harmonizing act and visual consistency.

The owners also wished for a space that was able to amuse their guests while on their daily cooking duty. "To achieve this, we raised the bar top on the island by creating a bank of oak cabinets that wraps around the upper part of the island. This provides a series of small appliance garages on the countertop where items can be hidden away when not in use. On the front of the island, the cabinetry provides storage for items needed for the dining table." Rosano said.

"The owners took their cue from the desert landscape," added Rosano. "The colors outside are mostly neutral, but at certain times of the year, the desert flowers burst into bloom with wonderful splashes of color."
