Belsize Lane
First-time Entry Award KDC 2017-18
Cuando la diseñadora Emma Bice empezó a trabajar en la cocina de Belsize Lane, era imprescindible adaptar el espacio a la familia de cinco miembros del cliente. Les gustaba cocinar y estar juntos en la cocina y apreciaban el diseño minimalista. Con esto en mente, Bice, junto con la dirección técnica de Tony Stratford, se propuso crear un núcleo familiar central que lograra un “ minimalismo confortable.
The proper selection of appliances was paramount to meeting both the functional needs of the family and the requirements of a clean design. Bice says, “We have always loved Sub-Zero and Wolf products because they give us the freedom and creativity to integrate the very best in kitchen technology seamlessly into beautiful furniture.” The clients selected a Wolf rangetop for its professional feel and the ample space it provided for the family’s Saturday breakfast ritual. For a family that loved to bake, the Wolf wall ovens offered superior performance and ergonomic benefits. The fully concealable warming drawer and Sub-Zero refrigeration provided Bice the opportunity to integrate it seamlessly behind cabinetry. To meet the ergonomic needs of the petite client whilst maintaining the handless design, Bice incorporated recessed scoops on the refrigeration drawers.
The kitchen flows exquisitely, thanks to a masterful use of materials and sophisticated design details. Cherry timber was used in the kitchen, tying into the cherry finishes throughout the property. Bice particularly appreciated the timber-fronted Sub-Zero wine racks; they provide a softer look than metal. Painstakingly precise mitered joints and shadow gaps around the cabinetry ensured the architect’s vision came to life.
Cleverly designed sliding-door cabinets over the sink provided convenient access to tools and other countertop appliances when needed, subtly hiding the contents behind book-matched natural stone when not in use.
