They opted for a delightful L-shape kitchen from the Glass range with a bar that adds this intimate and informal touch, a kitchen where they could share breakfasts, dinners, cups of coffee or simply chat while one of them cooks. Amalia and Eric combined wall furniture and columns in gloss grey lacquer with floor cupboards in Amberes grey. In order to give a light-hearted touch of colour, bright yellow was used for the bar, worktop and bay. The household appliances were hidden in cupboards with discrete handles, which resulted in a roomy and clean kitchen. A novel storage system using glass cubes in different colours was fitted which, away from the work zone, increases the kitchen space.

There is nothing like a beginning. So, you must live each day as if it were the first, as if it were the last… But you need the right setting to start a common project. Amalia and Eric have decided to share their lives and, therefore, they want the perfect setting.

When discussing the project for their first home, Amalia and Eric wanted a house that reflects the joy and excitement of beginnings. It had to have a fun and novel touch and showcase their personalities and age. They looked for a place without many luxuries, but which was different and welcoming, with an area where they can eat informally but also enjoy time with friends and family. Reflecting the life of a young couple without children.

A perfect balance was achieved between two rooms in the home, using a Star model kitchen, which combines an elegant and discrete walnut wood with distressed white textured lacquer and a stainless steel top that reflects the cooking zone suspended in the air. The storage area is built at two heights with different bases with clip opening cupboards. So, where it looks as if it is just a living space, there is a kitchen with everything you need… A perfect solution where the kitchen opens up to the rest of the house so they can see each other and interact as a family without everyone needing to be in the same room.

Eli and Ricard love their work as lawyers, but, above all, they enjoy family live, sharing moments, conversations, games and discoveries. The best moment is the day is when they spend time with their two children after a day of court cases, paper work and meetings. Their home is a space when the children can run and play freely, because not all laws must be respected…

When discussing the project for the flat where they would live with their two children, Eli and Ricard stressed a lack of physical barriers and open spaces. The kitchen was therefore integrated into the rest of the house so that everyone could have free access to it without anything blocking the view of the people relaxing in the living room or keeping an eye on the children who were playing around the house. They were also looking for a place where they could work or read a book over a coffee, without needing to eat or cook. A place that could be two things at once and blend in perfectly.

It could not have been any different… a pure white kitchen, with an area that is completely uncluttered, where the white satin lacquer of all the fittings is highlighted by the light. The space opens up with two kitchen islands, which are totally separated from the cooking areas, hung from the air. The worktop that joins both islands provides a sensation of volatility and ergonomics, while making it easy to clean. The whole area is fitted with a large number of cupboard, both in the columns and in the islands. He has opted to get rid of handles and to use clips and an electrical opening system. This combination adds calm and balance and the outcome is a pure, elegant and discrete kitchen… just like him.

They say that the Mediterranean fills people with life and peace. But it is much more for Lluis, a perfumer by profession. He sees the seas as an infinity of aromas and textures, a thousand sensations that affect each part of his life and, inevitably, are transferred to the place that he shares with the people that he cares most about.

In love with the sea, he needs a peaceful place next to it, a space where the purity is balanced, which transmits all the sensations of the Mediterranean is calm. Near to the sea, things are seen from another perspective and we tried to capture the smell of the waves, as if the seawater would rush into the kitchen at any time… A place where he could enjoy the landscape, bare-footed, alone or in company, with space for a family and which transmit the tranquillity and good relationship among them, the taste for the Mediterranean and the desire to share.
