PROJECT

For a young family with French and Moroccan roots, we firstly gave concrete words to their wishes that led to the following description.

The practical wish: Design a layout where the kitchen serves as a central gathering space, without the traditional appearance of a kitchen.

The aesthetic wish: Nods to Marrakech & Paris.

The personal wish: To leave the day behind as soon as you walk through the door.

​

The design: We connected the kitchen with the rest of the space by letting the kitchen island slip into the living area. The island was designed not to look like a cooking block but rather a chest of drawers with smaller drawers and an open nook for cooking books, becoming a focal point of both function and beauty.

Mouldings were added to complement the style of old Amsterdam and Parisian apartments, while soft-colored walls provided the backdrop for an eclectic mix of materials: bottocino stone, terracotta lamps, a metal mosaic backsplash, oak wood, a natural stone table, alabaster lights, and a Moroccan wool rug. The furniture selection is a mix of vintage and modern items, with the saffron-red sofa adding color to the whole.

​

The result is an eclectic and inviting home, a perfect place to kick off your shoes and leave the day behind.
