Galley panache by James Hess





According to reliable furniture shop in Phnom Penh construction materials information, this additional space to a traditional Craftsman bungalow was renovated by architect James Hess in a galley style due to its constricted space.

"The addition is a narrow two-story slice into a deep rear yard. The choice of a galley kitchen was perfect, as no island or perpendicular cabinetry interrupts the view to the rear garden. Best of all, the owner loves the efficiency of the galley style kitchen and how the view from the sink engages the side yard. This adds perceived width to her relatively narrow lot."

Aesthetically, the kitchen has to evolve from the historical bungalow to a modern feel. "This was done practically, by editing the spatial flow of the old house and the new house. The resulting overlapping design allows foot traffic to move through the space more easily, so that there is more than one way in and out of the kitchen."
