Amazing Hanging Island Shapes This Awesome Penthouse Kitchen in Sao Paulo

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.

    The Triangle House The characteristic of the narrow, steep hillside plot is its tapering, triangular shape. The view sweeps far and wide over an extensive, natural landscape towards the valley. The layout of the stretched building follows the property line. Surrounded by small residential streets, the building is closed to the hill side, thus forming its back. Here the visitor enters the house on the ground floor, which is the middle level of three, consisting mostly of an airy and spacious area, which is the center of family life. Cooking, eating and living are combined here, zoned only by a freestanding fireplace. This all-round glazed room is sun-drenched all day and opens out to a directly adjacent pool and terrace providing a beautiful view of the surrounding nature. At the tip of the house there is a small workplace, which, like a look-out, opens out to the front of the house. Viewing it from the outside, this narrow side of the building appears like a tower, which proudly stands out as if it is aware of its imposing effect. In contrast, the long side of the house facing the valley is inviting, open and wide. It is remarkable to note how the facade is bent at various points and the building view is accentuated by these carefully folded planes. The basement of the house is accessed from this side. One enters a very generously planned garage, which is tucked away into the ground. A gym is situated towards the west and a family wardrobe towards the east, through which you reach the stairs that take you directly to the ground floor. The private areas, which are located on the first floor, are also completely glazed and offer a spectacular view, bordered by mountains on the horizon. The parents’ bedroom open out onto an exclusive terrace.
