Eichler touch by Douglas Thornley

Provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials, architect Douglas Thornley was asked to refurbish the above kitchen as part of an extension to the Eichler house and the brief was a space that would be increased in size and have plenty of storage facility.

"The challenge was to do this while retaining the character and indoor-outdoor relationships typical of an Eichler house,"

"The remodel reflects the principles of Eichler materials – wood and glass. The wall facing the garden is almost all glass. The kitchen was reconfigured with the sink cabinet appearing to float on this glass wall, with light coming in from above and below," stated Thornley.

"The walnut veneers selected for the cabinetry complement a collection of Eames furniture. Colors were selected from a portfolio of paints originally developed by Le Corbusier. As well as meeting current needs, the resulting environment also reminds the owners of the home's rich historical ties to modern architecture."
