The kitchen is the heart of every home, because it is a space for cooking, eating and sharing happy moments with family and friends. This is why the designer of this house took great care in developing this area, using natural materials and developing an open floor plan to allow natural light and air flow.
Natural materials
The preference for natural materials, such as wood and stone, and the preference for minimalist and industrial design are the basis of this project, which aims to create a functional yet cosy space while emphasising the personality of the house. All surfaces in the kitchen are made of natural materials. The worktop and even the sink were made of natural stone, which is a living finish, so it will become more beautiful over time, developing a subtle patina that makes it look as if it has always been part of the house. Indeed, the natural materials add warmth and charm to this contemporary kitchen and capture the essence of this country villa. The chrome tone of the taps contrasts with the dark surfaces of the kitchen, creating a modern and fresh design that keeps the natural material theme alive.
Kitchen Taps
The choice of taps in a kitchen is a crucial decision from both an aesthetic and functional point of view. The owners of this house opted for Idral's 'Archimede' kitchen faucets, which are equipped with a double rain spray and aerator. Besides being beautiful and blending perfectly into the minimalist and industrial design of this project, these taps are robust and easy to use. In fact, they have a spring that makes washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen much more convenient, reducing waste. Thanks to the flexibility of this faucet, the water flow can be positioned lower in the sink, making it easy to clean hard-to-reach places. With the option of being used as a hand spray, these spring-loaded kitchen faucets offer convenience and practicality for easily rinsing dishes or pots and pans. This function saves time and is more effective in cleaning using the aerator. In addition, these taps have superior performance compared to traditional taps, because although the design is intended for the residential market, the technology is the same as our gargoyles for professional kitchens, such as those in restaurants and hotels, where the frequency of use is much higher and demands higher standards of strength and durability.
