Color Replaces Walls in Four European Kitchen Renovations
In recent renovations across Europe, color has transformed kitchen environments. Milan's Residenza B05, designed by Chromastudio, utilizes a glass sliding partition and incorporates fifteen different hues to delineate spaces. Meanwhile, Casa JAM in Madrid, created by gon architects, features a vibrant yellow kitchen with sliding panels replacing traditional doors, led by architect Gonzalo Pardo, who has a doctorate focused on kitchen and bathroom redesigns. In Rome, Margine's Casa Tahiti presents a pink kitchen complemented by open shelving and an ochre-yellow sofa. Barcelona's Monterols, crafted by Rocco Bibbiani for Not a Studio, employs blue, green, and yellow on structural elements within a compact 36-square-meter apartment. While these designs feature neutral flooring, the absence of clear boundaries may pose challenges regarding odors and sounds, a concern noted by the design teams.
