Less is more by Todd Ray

As successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials informed, sometimes it’s all about that little design details that make the overall one work.

The featured kitchen is a case in point where a modern feel is excerpted by the use of simple tones and materials.

"Finished with a limited palette of affordable materials, the space is clean and uncluttered with visual depth," said architect Todd Ray. "From the exterior, the apartment block is reasonably nondescript. However, it does have amazing views. In the redesign, walls were moved to free up space, and open up the views towards the National Cathedral which sits directly across the road from the apartment," said Ray.

"The frosted glass used for the pantry door is consistent with the translucent glass walls installed in other areas. The pantry was originally an old doorway, so reusing it in this way also gained extra space. Another benefit of frosted glass is that it gives spacial depth, adding another visual layer to the room," he added.
