ByMyProperty Life

Every kitchen needs a touch of brilliance; something that sets it apart. And few features make a kitchen as special as a dramatic hanging island at the heart of it all. Designed by Diego Revollo Arquitetura and a part of a gorgeous contemporary penthouse in Sao Paulo, this kitchen is a showstopper thanks to its overall design that makes it one-of-a-kind. The concept of a hanging kitchen island is one we all love and with this creation, you get an idea of what you can expect visually when you plan for one in your kitchen as well. The island is a bit over 14-feet long and is perfect for a sophisticated social gathering or even a casual breakfast with family and friends.

Hanging kitchen island design with contemporary panache steals the show here

The island is supported at both ends by black metal beams and they seem to blend in with the backdrop that is a combination of bold mustard yellow and dashing black. Even the backdrop ensures that the seemingly floating island ends up drawing your attention. Purple bar stools with metallic charm bring that ‘something different’ to a kitchen that already makes a big impact. At the other end of the kitchen is a wall of shelves entirely draped in Tauari wood; a choice that gives warmth and cozy charm to the spacious kitchen.

    REVEALING THE EVIDENCE Confrontation with the reality of these ruins was always a confrontation seeped in memories. Memories
    of a place where the raw matter it is constituted of – the rock, the valley and the mountain – shows evident expression, provoking a game of fine balance between place, matter, light and shadow. We found light that dripped down the stone walls defining spaces separated only by rows of stacked rock. In each fissure, in each wrinkle, a soft balance between light and shadow. Standing before this scenery, the exercise consisted in finding the most natural way to connect ruins and spaces, simultaneously defining future possibilities for links between the interior and the exterior. Where decisions were concerned, we chose to rehabilitate pre-existing volumes and introduce a new connecting element. The answer is given by the almost immediate decision to join together the pre-existing elements. This
    gesture, deeply connected to the terrain along the pendente – connects the two sections facing west,
    forming an exterior courtyard adorned with a centenary olive tree. This project builds a space that runs through the ruins, uniting them and revealing the obvious functional relationship between the house’s programmatic areas, simultaneously differentiating the possibilities for inhabiting the exterior space. It expresses its temporality through the antagonism of matter in its relationship with pre-existing elements.

    The project aims in creating an economically modest built form for an agriculturist and his family. Abstraction of urban farming could be seen in both exterior and interior spaces. The design uses the natural light and the built form to its advantage. The site abuts access way on the south and other two sides by adjoining structures. Its location is peculiar as the site is located in the city fringes. The surrounding dwelling unit comprises of peculiar semi urban row houses. South facade has the main entry and is flanked by a series of balconies and stepped terrace on each floor. Activities are distributed on various levels- semi private spaces on ground floor while private spaces on upper floors. The heart of the structure is the double heighted courtyard which is embellished with creepers and climbers. The green curtain cuts the direct entry of west sunlight inside the house and creates a buffer. The view from the spaces offers a glance of voluminous courtyard. The shape of the temple is evolved from the form of Shikhara – a feature of Hindu temple architecture. Temple with triple height factor acts as a wind tunnel with mechanical exhaust fan. Circular windows in bedroom, out looking the landscape serves as a natural picture frame. The basic building materials are kept to its natural form and texture to comprehend the naturality of flora.
