In order to maintain a sense of organization and functionality, a cabinet was designed to separate the integrated kitchen from the living area. In addition, to isolate the adjacent areas, which would be completely exposed at all times, a sliding door was created. in muxarabi that protects without sealing. “We created a door-panel scheme in the kitchen and laundry room to isolate these areas when the client feels the need,” explains Mariana.
