Kitchener Kitchen

Now as many of you are quite aware of, and as many of you are not quite aware of... I live in Kitchener, Ontario, moved here in August 2011 from Montreal, in order to fulfill my dreams of becoming an Interior Designer.

That should explain the title, this Kitchen is nowhere near Kitchener, it is actually a Kitchen showroom located in London, England. So don't feel too bad that your kitchen does not look like this.

So hopefully by now you kids kinda "get" my industrial design phase.  Something about mixing metals and wood just pops my design cherries.

As you can see the copper palettes have been oxidized in order to tame down the bright orange of the original copper panels. (Check out the copper bowl next to the stove)

Now this design may sadly be a little far fetched for us normal occupants. However, if I were to design something like this with such a great square footage, I'd imagine it'd have to be for some kind of movie set, quelque chose comme ca.

Cybertecture (Design Eye Candy)

Now I know cybertecture is a name for a developing project called "The Cybertecture Egg" in Mumbai, India at the moment. However, I plan on using "cybertecture" to describe incredibly advanced designs. Designs that may even not be possible to build with today's technology. What's great about computer design programs, is that there is no limit to design, you don't have to limit your mind to what you are capable of drawing with a pen anymore.

Feast your eyes kiddos!

Accessible Green Roof #whatwhat ah love it. 

If you were wondering... this building is under construction this year, and will be completed in 2015 according to the Korea Planning team.

Interior Metal Transportation Device

JUMP IN

The last title I wanted to give this post was "the slide". Amateur, which I am no longer.




Why not have a slide in the middle of your New York penthouse suite. Did I already give away the location before you could guess?


Now in this case, this slide is not only meant for transportation, it is also used as a major focal point for the entire suite. Given its metal exterior, and glass casing, it certainly ties this otherwise cold suite together.


I can't really think of anyone who wouldn't want a slide in their apartment, loft, suite, house, and especially commercial buildings.

If I were to propose a change to the space, and how the Turrett Collaborative Architects have designed this place to be. I would definitely not add that hideous staircase, and replace it with a somewhat spiral staircase going alongside the metal slide. Perhaps something like this... Now imagine the stairs being in a all dark wood, with a glass covering and metal railings right along side the stairs.


Not only would this potential solution create a more open space for the living and dining area, it would also compliment the focal point (slide).

Interior Flake 1

So throughout this blog I will be flaking you kids... (over the course of this blog I will be referring to you (my readers) as kids, or kiddos.. =)


Flakes can be defined as many things nowadays. They can be a variety of things, including kellogs cornflakes, your friends who “flake” on you sometimes. But in this case, it is simply an interesting piece of furniture that can dignify your interior, in any kind of room. 

Flake Numbah One - Quite recently, the famous square shelves seem to be of interest to many contemporary spaces.
