The kitchen, which is completely open, is found right at the heart of the house’s public area. With this prime position, it serves as a nexus between the dining room and living room, which are laid out perpendicular to it at each end of the floor. Thus, the barriers that traditionally separated the work areas from leisure areas no longer exist, bringing them together into one single area intended for sharing and enjoying. This approach, aside from making the space feel so much bigger, fosters interaction and freedom of movement for users.

The kitchen cabinets by Santos comprise a homogeneous set that stands out—without being discordant—amidst simple yet bright architecture. The tall units rise to the ceiling, creating a functional partition with a significant aesthetic function. The island, located directly opposite, takes on the form of sculpture, making it easy to forget that it is actually intended for storage. The interior design is balanced out through the warm touches provided by tables, chairs, shelves and frames. In this regard, the parallelism between the chestnut flooring and the wooden puzzle on the ceiling, which is found throughout the entire floor, plays an important role in reinforcing the harmony between the open kitchen, living room and dining room.
