PRIVACY IS A KEY ELEMENT OF THE DESIGN reflective columns behind it. In effect, the staircase is a piece of abstract sculpture. The kitchen, Jason remarks, is also quite sculptural, and once again, it does not fit the traditional concept of a kitchen, although it certainly functions as such. Clever design has been used here to hide essential fittings, with the wine rack, to take one example, hidden behind the wood panelling. “This kitchen is more of an architectural detail,” says Jason, “with its lovely layers of panels and shapes. The black panel hides the oven. You press on it and the oven opens out. You press again and it closes. In fact, it looks as if there is not much kitchen there at all, but there is. As in the rest of the villa, we have used space to optimise space.”
