SPACE EXPERIENCE.

Inclusive Kitchen

The creative family of 5 was planning to renovate their kitchen to a modern and natural mood. The parents are both 40s; the father works at an advertisement company, he likes the modern design. The mother works at a hospital, she cares about the health and the environment, so she likes organic stuff. They have 3 kids: 8 y.o. girl, 4 y.o. boy and 2 y.o. girl. The old sister has multiple sclerosis. MS is an autoimmune disease, and she will gradually have some symptoms such as vision problem muscle-related symptoms, and she will be going to use a wheelchair.

Builder Special

Nothing but elegant. The design team worked to create a cohesive look throughout all spaces, weaving in elements of rhythm, pattern, and movement, to create a vibrant and elegant feel. The colour palette is easy on the eyes, warm neutral tones wash over the entire space through different textures, with some soft muted colours that tie together the rooms and give visual interest.
