This family never lived in the living room, which was the most magnificent room in the house, filled with loads of natural daylight streaming in from the southwest. Instead they spent most of their time entertaining in the kitchen, the room with the least amount of light. This was a great opportunity to radically change where they spent their time, from the most boring room to the most amazing one. 102
New floors, extra doors and a fireplace enhanced the warmth that was there to begin with, in this classic house from the start of the century. Simonsen and Czechura collaborated with architect Søren Borg to custom design a classic framed kitchen. Special cabinets were hand painted to highlight the texture of brush strokes in white oil paint, walnut and oak. Cooking units were customised to include a built-in Japanese Tabanake. A huge window was added to the
hallway and new doors were built to allow easier access to the garden. The rest is a sumptuous space that’s now white and wide open for this family to feel more at home. Living in sunshine.
