Something old

‘The aim was to create a fun space for a family that would reflect their love of colour,’ says architect Anthi Grapsa, who used reclaimed iroko in this kitchen. ‘The wood was part of bench tops in a school laboratory and came complete with its graffiti. It was sanded slightly to remove the varnish and then resealed, but retains its character.’ Terrazzo tiles form the splashback and floor, while brass handles complete this subtly 1960s look.

All is calm

A seamless interior of pale spruce joinery defines this light-filled kitchen, part of a recent project by Tikari Works. ‘The limited palette of materials minimises visual clutter and creates an atmosphere that’s calm, tactile and comforting,’ says co-founder Nicola Tikari. Terrazzo tiles line the floor, while a white worktop contributes to the streamlined aesthetic.
