House with integrated kitchen has custom cabinetry and natural materials

"The most important thing in an integrated kitchen project is to treat the kitchen as a living room, and not as a kitchen," says architect Ricardo Abreu – from the cast of CASACOR São Paulo – about this project located in Vila Madalena (SP). More than a simple removal of walls, the professional detailed materials, shapes, and textures and, above all, the language that allows for a dialogue of continuity between the projects. "In our projects we treat the kitchen as an extension of the living room, and here the design of the woodworking is fundamental. For these projects, we do not use planned woodworking, we opted for custom woodworking, with patterns and finishes that connect with the woodworking present in the living room," he explains.

The porcelain tile is the same in both projects, the woodworking also repeats the chosen pattern for the woods, and some elements were added to personalize each detail, such as the use of Indian straw applied to the backs of the chairs and on the detail of the pantry door handle. The countertop is made of quartz. [gallery-abril id="190062" type="slider_super" showtitle="undefined" data-restrict="false"]
