Under the roof: Cozy, but often quite tight. But who clever
plans, has plenty of room for a kitchen and fun cooking
1. Kitchen in the Rinderloft in Rosenheim
During the renovation and extension of a loft in the attic,
the interior design team from Bespoke installed this bright, open kitchen
exactly under the roof. Above all, the niche under the sloping roof was used
optimally here: the built-in backyard got its place there, and behind the matt
white lacquered fronts there is plenty of storage space.
2. Small but powerful in Paris
Only 15 square meters for living, sleeping and cooking -
interior designer Rebecca Benichou of Batiik Studio solved this tricky
challenge extremely creatively. The fitted kitchen under the roof is raised two
steps on a pedestal. Under this hides a pull-out sofa bed. If the bed is
stowed, friends at the counter can help with cooking and snipping or just
sitting comfortably together. When unfolded, the kitchen counter even turns
into a larger table that can accommodate four to six people. The table legs are
folded out of the partition wall - if they do not support the table, they serve
as a privacy screen, as a backrest for the sofa or as a headboard of the bed.
3. A kitchen as a built-in box
The Parisian architect Aude Soulain designed a compact
kitchen box in a Berlin attic, which combines many functions: kitchen, washing
machine, technology, the cloakroom and plenty of storage space are housed
therein. The execution planning and construction supervision was done by Tai
Schomaker, Berlin architect and founder of Do You Space. "The built-in
block is a bit like a Swiss knife, so diverse," says Schomaker. Thus, in
German-French co-production, a spacious attic apartment, whose undisputed
highlight is a multifunctional Einbaubox. You might also be interested in: ?
4. Over the rooftops of Barcelona
The huge windows offer a great view over Barcelona, but there
is hardly any space for cabinets and fixtures. The planning office Nobohome
used the conditions in this kitchen of a penthouse optimally: A room-high
built-in cupboard, which extends over the entire wall length into the open
living area, offers sufficient storage space. The petrol-colored fronts are an
inspiring change from the popular kitchen white.
5. Everything made to measure in Munich
The modernization of an attic apartment - along with many
other built-in installations - also resulted in this new, white kitchen.
Product and furniture designer Tobias Jung from Lignum Arts placed a line of
beveled wall units above the back kitchen unit. "A real giant
cabinet," says the expert. The back wall of the kitchen also suited Jung
individually: it is prism-shaped. "We pulled the walls partly forward.
That way, we were able to integrate fittings, ventilation and sockets over the
work surface. " The kitchen unit on the opposite side is only half high,
so the room does not lose its generosity. There are also integrated
refrigerator and backyard.
6. More space and brightness in Melbourne
This small but smart kitchen was once gloomy and built-in.
Now it is a pleasant place to stay with plenty of natural light - and extremely
practical. To get as much out of the open space as possible, the new kitchen
now uses the entire wall length. Spacious drawers offer plenty of storage space
, the refrigerator is integrated into the kitchen and is no longer as before
the renovation in the middle of the room. "The new layout allows you to
move around the room fluently. We've relaxed it, there's more room for
conversation and cooking together, "says Susan Cleveland of Smarter
Kitchens. Special details like hand crafted tiles and knobs add to the
personality of the residents in the kitchen.
7. Industrial charm in Kaliningrad
Open, loft-like living spaces under the roof bring in space
and brightness. But an open kitchen area is not for everyone. Here, the team of
experts at Shperling Design solved the problem with floor-to-ceiling built-in
wardrobes that function as room dividers to the rest of the top floor apartment
and provide plenty of storage space. An extractor hood has been omitted: odors
and vapors can just as well pull off through the open roof window.
8. Clever details in the historic roof truss
The roof truss of this historic farm building had long been
used only as a storeroom. But the new owners wanted to equip it with a kitchen
and commissioned Gabriele Koop-Törkel and her team of kitchen style, In
addition to a spacious kitchen island with plenty of storage space, counter and
stove were fitted under the sloping kitchen cabinets. They have a normal depth
and therefore also provide space for electrical appliances such as the combi
steamer. The cabinets directly below the slopes have a little less depth.
"Narrow kitchen cabinets have the advantage that supplies do not have to
be stored one behind the other in the depths of the cabinet. Everything is up
front and at your fingertips, "explains Koop-Törkel. The trick: The
refrigerator was installed in the knee stick. One of those refined details, of
which there are several in this kitchen.
9. Decorated in Paris
A matching masonry kitchen can be seen in this Parisian
attic. Even so, difficult space can be used optimally. In addition, the stove
and refrigerator were given a practical pedestal. In addition, the charm of the
plastered recessed fitting is a perfect match to the shabby-chic style of the
room.
10. Precision in the dormer
This know-how of a carpenter is shown in this custom-made
kitchen by Schmalzgruber Möbelmanufaktur. Floors in old trusses can sometimes
have bumps and bumps. Carpenter Roman Schmalzgruber was able to balance these
with custom-made base cabinets and pedestals, so that the pan is also straight
on the stove. Do you have a similar problem kitchen? How did you solve this?
