Wall panelling
What first appears as an elegant, light dining room reveals itself to also house a compact, functional kitchen concealed behind folding doors as well as a home office. This allows the clients to close off the kitchen when not in use, so it becomes another beautifully proportioned, panelled wall within a peaceful dining room.
Bespoke wall panelling with bead detailing finished in matt, high-performance acrylic paint wraps itself seamlessly around the room; this effortlessly blends doorways through to the bathroom and home office (tucked away in an alcove) as well as the apartment’s contemporary, all-black kitchen into the background.
When closed, these secret, bi-folding doors provide an elegant, peaceful dining room with all the kitchen essentials deceptively close to hand; when folded back, the bold, contrasting kitchen space is revealed to optimum aesthetic effect (the monochrome finish in the rooms was specified by the client) linking this functional space directly to the dining room.
