Unobtrusive ambience by Brad Lynch

According to reliable furniture shop in Phnom Penh construction materials information, owner- architect Brad Lynch decided that the main living area of his house ought to become a feature in the overall design rather than a standalone piece. Hence, a subtle, less obvious attraction in the design.

"The millwork is continuous, but punctuated with openings that allow people to move between the circulation areas and the spaces beyond," said Lynch. "On the main living level, it forms a bookcase at one end, and frames the kitchen cabinetry at the other end. On the other levels it accommodates a variety of services, including a powder room, broom closet and bedroom closets."

"Preserving the concept of the box was very important," stated Lynch. "I didn't want to interrupt the sense of a through-space, so everything is very simple and plain. To have introduced additional materials would have been distracting."

"The large, custom-designed aluminum light fixture was specified for a similar reason. I didn't want any downlights or fixtures that would interrupt the ceiling and wall planes. This light, which is the same length as the island, and the two windows provide the necessary ambient lighting."
