Kitchen Verandah @ Open House ll
The Kitchen Verandah is part of a house project which we completed several years earlier. We take on these micro-projects so that we can continue our relationship, and design conversations with the client. We use such projects to train the young designers in our studio about design development into a built project, which they can then include in their portfolios.
Design development drawing show the two links between the two kitchens; one practical and direct, the other more poetic and up to one’s interpretation
The main idea was to relocate the wet kitchen into a ‘galley’ space facing the garden, these kitchens are connected via a sliding window in between them, and the new kitchen verandah.
The Verandah is a semi permeable space to rest in between cooking, to drop the groceries after returning from shopping, a place to dry food, to sun dish towels and for the cats to sit and look at the dogs.
The ‘flip-flop’ louvre panels are constructed out of steel and aluminium sections, with a simple latch to adjust the degree of open-ness. It is simple yet effective, allowing the users to control the spaces.
