The history of this summer kitchen is not quite ordinary.Firstly, it adjoins a house built in the 18th century, and secondly, it is made entirely of glass. And most importantly, in our opinion, it will look great in your dacha
Sometimes, to preserve something very old,you have to invent something completely new. That's the conclusion Alex Saint of Kitchen Architecture came to when he was commissioned to design a summer kitchen for a three-century-old cottage.
The task was not easy:The house in Cheshire, England, could not be touched in any way, the owners valued the traditional architecture of their estate too much. The architect had no desire to try to create something similar to the 18th century building. Quite the opposite, Alex Saint decided to go the opposite way and build a summer kitchen that would attract a minimum of attention, while being as comfortable and functional as possible.
This is how the architect came up with the idea of a glass cube.A minimalist white kitchen with matte fronts was integrated into this fully visible volume. The flooring here is completely consistent with the stone used to finish the terrace. The kitchen in the house itself is converted into a hall, leading through a wide arch to a new light space assembled from double-layer glass.
In summer, wide sliding doors allow the already open space to be connected to the terrace, thus erasing the conventional boundaries between architecture and the surrounding environment.
