Minimal, Magical

Sometimes, less is more makes cooking a dream. This 270 sq ft kitchen in Magnolia, Gurgaon, where functionality merges seamlessly with aesthetics, is a case in point. “Concealed storage blends discreetly into the sleek wall finishes, the central counter doubles as a dining space and it features Logica Celata bars, which conceals as a wall art.

It functions both as kitchen innovation and wall art,” says Rudraksh Charan. However, one of the biggest challenges they faced was transporting an 8 ft long bar. “The bar was cleverly designed in two parts, each 4 ft long. This division made handling and transportation much more manageable and manoeuvrable,” says Priyanka Khanna. The best part? The kitchen has such precision that the lines of the overall unit appear seamlessly integrated.

TOP TIP

"Integrate smart storage solutions in your minimalist kitchen to maintain functionality and enhance family bonding during meals.

Concealed compartments and versatile counters not only streamline daily tasks but also elevate the kitchen into a space of indulgence and shared experiences, making every meal a cherished family moment."
