Alexander Krivov, interior designer: - The customers of this project are a middle-aged married couple with a child. The hosts lead an active lifestyle, often receive guests and cook a lot at home. Hence, the main wish of customers when designing the kitchen and living room is to make the kitchen-dining and living room areas a single space, but at the same time make the kitchen working area as invisible as possible. As a result, we designed the kitchen in such a way that it is located in the back of the room, around the corner. With this arrangement, the process of cooking and cleaning after cooking is as hidden from view as possible, since the hob, sink and dishwasher are located just in the back of the kitchen. www.goldensilk.ru 
Alexander Krivov, interior designer:- I wanted to place a maximum of equipment in the kitchen without cluttering the work surface. As a result, the choice fell on. Specifically, we have installed an embedded technique:
- With grill function;
- exclusive.The uniqueness of this oven is in the functions of cooking with steam and with a low temperature mode in a Sous Vide vacuum. This appliance will also replace the steamer, as there is a "100% steam" mode, in addition to other modes with steam. And many automatic recipes will prompt our customers with food ideas and select cooking parameters. With the help of these two appliances, the owners will be able to cook in almost any way possible.

Unique design Evgeniya Krivorog, architect: - When arranging a small kitchen, follow a few tips:
- Colors do not be afraid to make contrast. For example, the facades of the kitchen are dark - the flooring is light. A big mistake is to do everything in bright colors. I advise you not to use in the interior of small kitchens "all shades of beige." It is close to the dark shades of light brighter, because they reflect light, especially glossy surfaces, such as tiles or marble on the floor. Pay attention to cold shades, such as light blue or dusty-pink, for example, when choosing the color of the walls;

Evgenia Krivorog, architect:
- Ceilings should not be done at different levels, enough to decorate them with a ceiling cornice;
- A stove and an oven should be placed as far as possible from the passageway and, of course, at a remote distance from the sink;
- The working area of the kitchen should be as functional as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to arrange everything conveniently, and especially carefully consider the location of zones with household appliances.
