KITCHEN INTERIOR DESIGN FOR SMALL ROOMS
5s is a japanese methodology roughly translate to the inspiration for this design camefrom the clients and they're interest in minimalism and exploring ways to live with less and be very ingrained in their locale and in the local amenity this is a 24 square meter space originally the kitchen is where thesleeping nook is now so the kitchen was moved out of that space so what we did is we split the kitchen into two wings a wet kitchen which has the sink the hotwater unit and some storage underneath
and an area to dry things over the topof the kitchen as you wash up you can just store things directly in thecupboard and then you can just rely on them drawing and dripping down into thesink and then the the dry kitchen is an area for primarily for cooking and forpreparation the bench for the dry kitchen is very much like a workbench and it has a sort of floating quality to give the space of lightness it also hasa table that can be neatly stored away as part of the kitchen and then broughtout when when it comes time to dining the bathroom is adapted from theoriginal bathroom what we did is actually maintain what was nice aboutthe original bathroom and then put an
