Scope
Full kitchen design, seamless Corian cabinetry, integrated technology, microcement specification, installation
A penthouse above the City asked a radical question: what is the minimum a kitchen needs to be? Every surface is seamless white Corian — walls, cabinetry, and island cast from the same material so that joins disappear entirely. The room is not white so much as lightless: it absorbs attention and returns only the view.
All cabinetry is flush with the walls, invisible until touched; push-to-open mechanisms eliminate every hardware element. Integrated climate, lighting, and appliance controls are embedded in a single panel that retracts into the island when not in use. The microcement floor was poured in one continuous pour across the open-plan level — no expansion joints, no transitions, no interruptions to the plane.

"There is nothing to look at and everything to feel. It is the most resolved room I have ever stood in."
