#1 KITCHEN, NEW BARNET

The concept evolves around a separate but connected

space, which needs to be bright, calm and sophisticated.

A bright spacious environment is introduced by using light infused elements that are inviting to the inhabitants.

Incorporate uniformed furniture in a classic contemporary style

THE BRIEF A professional couple in their late 40s finally start on the ground floor extension after 20 years. Both love cooking, the commercial pilot and the teaching assistant want the new space to be the centre of their home where they can cook, entertain and relax.

with storage solutions to produce the desired neat appearance.

Linear forms and gentle curves are employed into the space to further enhance the sleeky look.

Elegant smooth textures and reflective surfaces are present in design detail to bring about sophistication, while natural materials are used to create a calming atmosphere.

#2 THANET PRESS FACTORY, MARGATE

THE RESEARCH Once an ordinary fishing

village to a key beach resort during the Victorian times, Margate suffered much post WWII losing its appeal to cheaper foreign holidays.

In recent years with campaigns to save the landmarks and the arrival of young artists, Margate is regenerating through contemporary art and cultural.

The locals and the newcomers are gradually joining forces to bring Margate back to life.

The goal is to utilise the abandoned Thanet Press factory and create a simple recreational space in the form of a coffee house, where people can come together to converse and socialise, to relax and recharge, to be alone with their thoughts and feel inspired.

The interior follows the concept image by using muted natural colour

scheme in greys, off white and black to create a calming peaceful environment.

By introducing tan and yellow accent, it defines a warm and inviting socialable area.

While using stark white on the staircase leading to the mezzanine decorated with abstract painting in dark red and black, it raises the pulse to provoke a sense of excitement and challenge.

Inspired by the Margate pier, wood is pre-

dominantly used as flooring, seating and shelves. Soft carpet is laid down in the peace zone and kids area to absorb sound and further induce a calming sense. Polished concrete is used to build the serving counters to fit in with the building’s original industrial interior.

Ground Floor & Mezzanine

Abstract Wall Art Inspired by Piet Mondrian’s paint-

ing, geometric shapes are painted above the eye level to create interest on the double-height walls in the social zone. It helps to bring down the distant high ceiling. The muted yellow colour evokes a warm friendly atmosphere.

Wall Art on Mezzanine

On the mezzanine, the bold shapes in intense red and black are painted against the white background to be part of the inspirational theme – to challenge and to excite, thus to inspire.

#3 BATHROOM, KINGSTON THE BRIEF Design an en-suite master bathroom with a surprise

element for a doctor and his PR wife living in a Victorian Villa located in Kingston, London.

The goal is to create a clean, sophisticated and invigorating sanctuary for the couple.

Much emphasis has been put on installing balance and calmness in a hectic life style through symmetric planning, natural materials and simple cool colours.

Taking the centre stage is an inviting circular bathtub, and a powerful large rain shower discretely stowed away just behind.
