Concepta Kitchen in Metallic Gray
The construction of this beautiful project began back in the days of COVID-19.
A private home for returning residents, spread across four floors, featuring four master bedrooms (including suites for teenagers), an attic, swimming pool, separate unit, home cinema, and a spacious yard.
A Kitchen Designed Differently
The kitchen was planned in a way that differs from traditional layouts.
The main challenge was a single wall for tall cabinets, which was neither aligned nor long enough to accommodate the needs of such a large home.
The homeowners wanted a dark, dramatic kitchen, but we also aimed to move away from the heavy, outdated black that is slowly fading out of style.
From the very early sketch phase, we decided to extend beyond the original wall, creating a larger kitchen that wraps around the irregular walls, aligning them visually and functionally.
This approach gave us the opportunity to design double-sided cabinets –
One side serves the kitchen.
The other side provides coat storage and hides the electrical cabinet.
To prevent a bulky, heavy look from these deep cabinets, we added an open corner niche in natural veneer, softening the visual impact and adding warmth.
Balancing the Dark Palette
The kitchen is enclosed by three walls and features a dark color scheme, so it was important to lighten the atmosphere.
We achieved this by detaching the tall cabinets from the ceiling, incorporating a recessed detail above them to house the air conditioning vent, creating a floating, airy effect.
The chosen dark shade has a metallic finish, adding depth and sophistication.
For the countertops, we used travertine, a material that also appears in the pool cladding, yard paving, and master bathroom walls, creating cohesion throughout the house.
Between the tall cabinets, we integrated a Concepta niche in natural wood, perfectly matched to the open corner shelves, adding another layer of material warmth.
The Result
A spacious, functional kitchen that meets every need – and even exceeds expectations.
It integrates seamlessly into the home, offering ample storage, clever design solutions, and a balance of drama, warmth, and functionality.
