Ak_Project dresses the kitchen of a house in Tel Aviv

The home is designed around the living area, an open space overlooking a large, verdant terrace, featuring large, full-height windows along the outside perimeter that flood the interior with soothing natural light, creating a calm and relaxing environment.
Right at the heart, lies the Ak_Project kitchen that provide for a contrast of wood-effect Smoke finish for the tall units with pocket doors, and Polar finish for the island with Calacatta white marble countertop. A combination of materials that best reflects the abundant light entering through the windows and accentuates the sensation of being in an open and airy space.

Ak_Project’s simple design reflects the concept of the entire home, creating a practical, welcoming and energy-filled kitchen space while adhering to a harmonious rigour of shapes and materials.
The project required the kitchen to occupy a substantial portion of the space, making it crucial to select materials that would create a strong visual contrast, both in terms of material and colour.

The dark tones of the smoked wood tall units were therefore combined with the delicate veining of the white marble top adorning the island, in a perpendicular layout. The result: a sophisticated and elegant union. Rounding out the composition, a metal and wood lamp highlights the shape of the island, while a series of bar stools in wood and leather soften its rigid lines.

The practical and elegant tall unit system serves as a partition between the kitchen and the stairwell. These Ak_Project elements are enjoying increasing popularity among interior designers thanks to their modularity and functionality in dividing the space. In this specific case, there was no need to install a brick or plasterboard wall, rather, all the visible elements are an integral part of the furniture. The functionality of the internal space is heightened by the practical pocket doors, which don’t get in the way when open. The preparation area can be used when needed then closed again to hide it from view, all with elegance and linear appeal.
