As successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials informed, designed by trio builder Holly Erotas, architect Jeff Murphy and interior designer Maureen Haggerty, the above kitchen is created as an open plan to the adjacent living room with a classical appearance.

"We became involved early on, before the house was designed. This meant I could plan for spacious, functional work triangles and a balanced, airy feel, as well as create easy connections with the adjoining living spaces. The U-shaped kitchen is open to the great room and the dining room."

"The hood is a prominent feature within the design. We specified this custom element in a dark bronze-pewter finish that ties in with the stainless steel of the ovens and the green-gray hues of the Stingray subway tiles," said Erotas.

The antique approach can be seen with the design of paneled doors and drawers for the cabinets, brick-styled splashbacks, and pendant lightings. The sinks’ faucets also enhance the authenticity.
