A dreamy minimalist kitchen with HIMACS elements in the Nook House, London
When the architecture firm Studio 163 was tasked with transforming a small, dark kitchen into a large, naturally-lit space with a dining area, opening up into the house's garden, the job seemed simple. The real challenge of the project was turning a narrow, poorly-lit room into a large, bright kitchen-diner while making hardly any changes to the building’s façade. The original #design of the façade had to be maintained, since this area of London has a marked Art Deco architectural style.
Studio 163’s proposal was to extend to the side of the house and create a window in the rear façade, making the ground floor bigger and creating a new multi-functional space. The idea being to make the most of the space, a nook was created in the window aperture that acts as a reading space, storage for the children’s games or a seat by the breakfast table. The use of a neutral palette, dominated by the colour white, and the selection of materials, such as #himacs solid surface, play a key role in making the room feel bigger and brighter.
For the countertops on both the central island and kitchen worktops, as well as the sinks, #himacs was chosen primarily for its excellent durability and robustness. “The property's owners had already chosen #himacs for other projects, and their experience was so positive that they wanted to use it again in their home,” a spokesperson for Studio 163 indicated.
What’s more, the complete absence of seams or pores in the surface of the material makes it the ideal choice for use in a space such as a kitchen, where hygiene is fundamental. Its totally homogeneous surface prevents the accumulation of dirt and possible spread of bacteria, making it easier to clean and maintain.
