01Brief
A cramped kitchen at the back of the flat.
The family cooked every day but ate elsewhere: there was no room to sit together.
Overview
An old apartment kitchen turned into the warm, dark heart of the home.
The clients wanted a weekend home that felt like a cabin but lived like a house. We kept the footprint small, lifted it off the ground to protect the roots, and opened every room toward the trees.

02Concept
One long island, made for cooking and eating.
Opening the wall gave space for an island that doubles as the family table.
03Result
Dark joinery, warm wood and soft light.
Two glass pendants light the island; everything else disappears into the cabinetry.
From a closed galley to an open kitchen.
