Regarding the antiquity of the home, the focus has been on blending classical elements with contemporary living. Consequently, the sensibility of the kitchen lends itself to eclecticism.

Due to the existing kitchen’s considerable distance from the living space of the home, there was a necessity to create a multi-functional sitting area that embraces modern living. Recognizing the kitchen as the heart of the home, a technique inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, known as “compression and release,” was employed. This involved painting the lower ceiling dark, thereby creating a sense of release upon entering the kitchen with its higher ceilings.
