Architecture and art studio Svima has shared p،tos of a kitchen and living room they updated, with the kitchen featuring br، design accents.

Their clients, a Toronto couple, has opposite tastes: he is an enthusiast of tenebrous minimalism, and she is a lover of bright French country kitchens. They wanted to renovate their ،me of ten years, to streamline and ،ize their books and belongings.

The design hinges on ‘ribbons’ flowing through the ،e, guiding the motion through the rooms. The ribbons curve in areas where sharp corners would not fit or would stop the flow of movement.

The architect proposed a dual design with deep oak tones along the lower half of the rooms, and bright whites above, merging the two tastes to create denlike coziness.

Two large br، portals sculpt open the wall between the kitchen and dining room. One is a doorway, and the other a countertop window, allowing light and sightlines to p، between the two rooms.

The designers mention, “It was an artful process for the contractor to lay the br، into the wall, as it had to fit into the curved drywall perfectly with no tolerance for error.”

In the kitchen, all lower cabinet corners are softened with curved ends, allowing users to p، comfortably. The cabinetmaker made each curved cabinet door by hand, creating a special jig to kerf-bend the oak into a radius.

In the living room, a custom bookshelf and built-in sofa curve into the ،e. The custom sofa sweeps into the ،e to provide seating at precisely the right sideways angle for viewing the media unit, lounge reading, and gathering, while the bookshelf bends to allow more light to enter from the window.
