At the core of this high-end modern home, designed by Toronto-based Sansa Interiors, the kitchen stands as a symbol of simplicity and sophistication with a honed-in focus on connecting the space to nature and subtly bringing in zen practices.
Jude Kamal ARIDO, NCIDQ founder and principal interior design at the firm, said, “Our design philosophy is creating holistic spaces that flow with intention, meaning they are functional, balanced and contribute to overall enhancement of wellbeing through the flow of air, light and use of negative spaces. We suggested following zen principles for this project because that was in alignment with what our clients were describing to us for their dream home, and while it is a very modern design we did focus heavily on the connection to nature.”
The clients wanted a very simplistic design that prioritizes functionality, allowing for an efficient and practical kitchen layout that embraces the openness of the space, contributing to an atmosphere of tranquility and well-being.
Zen-Influenced Color & Materials
The color and materials palettes for the cabinets, countertops and hardware strongly tie the space to zen principles and earthy elements.
The single-tone light oak wood kitchen and pantry, seamlessly extending from cabinets to the slatted wood island hood, instills a sense of balance and visual harmony while also being easy on the eyes. Purposefully incorporating wood tones within the kitchen establishes both a material and visual connection to the landscape beyond. A generously sized window, strategically centred above the sink, not only invites natural light but also fosters a seamless connection to the outdoors.
The design prioritizes functionality, allowing for an efficient and practical kitchen layout that embraces the openness of the space, contributing to an atmosphere of tranquility and well-being. Thoughtfully placed lighting elements add a touch of luxury, creating a modern farmhouse-inspired kitchen that not only captivates with its aesthetics but also invites mindfulness and a profound connection to nature.
