Wellness In Design: Kitchens That Embrace Nature
These palette cleanser kitchens provide a luxurious breath of fresh air.
We are seeing an increasing trend in clients requesting outdoor sanctuaries that embrace nature and create an increased sense of wellness.
The outdoor kitchen at Waverly House is a beautiful and considered example of layered design that solves many briefs at once. The space is split into several zones; the bar, a space for relaxation, an island for cooking, drinks cabinet and dining table. The bar provides the perfect space to enjoy an evening outdoors, the cracked glazed lava stone gently reflecting the ambient lighting creating a beautiful backdrop for cocktails placed on the surface. The accompanying water features enhance the sense of calmness that comes with being outside, the white noise of the water combining with a light breeze relaxes the soul. Housing the social space in an outdoor context only enhances the sense of wellness when connecting meaningfully with friends and family.
The Rose Villa seamlessly transitions a person from the sunny sand dunes of the beach to a welcoming drinks cabinet to refresh by. Sliding windows open fully to reveal the view from the terrace, a perfect retreat for a busy individual. The embrace of nature also comes from the sustainable natural materials that are used throughout the kitchen. The calming aura of this space encourages a sense of mindfulness that permeates through the house.
The timeless harmony created by the kitchen in the Ritiro sul lago project is taken a step further by the opportunity to take a moment outside to enjoy the scenery. The row of fresh herbs growing from behind the sink adds a natural fragrance to the air, lifting the spirits of those interacting in the space. The indoor marble sideboard mirrors the shelving that is on the outside creating a satisfying symmetry.
