Retro kitchen opposite the Wawel Castle

13 of April '22

The inspiration for this interior was the immediate surroundings of the Wawel Castle. The kitchen in this realization is a narrow and high space at the same time. How did the designers from MM Architekci studio arrange the kitchens?

The investors were keen to preserve the unique climate of the place. The tenement in which the investment was located is not far from Wawel Castle. The space to be developed was very narrow - the kitchen was only 2.70 meters wide. It was, as is often the case in old tenements, very high.

How was the space divided?

The designers opted for double-sided development. The exception is to break it at the very end. On the right side, the built-in was replaced by a freestanding table with a white leg and a glass top. It was joined by three simple chairs with a refined shape.

dominant white

The cabinets and fronts in this realization are dominated by pure white with small milling. This gives the interior a classic, calm character. The color scheme of the window frames was also kept in this tone. Two patterns were used on the floor. It was laid with hexagonal tiles. Some of them are white, and some are patterned with an arabesque motif.

elegance of accents

Also important in this interior was the choice of accessories and household appliances. Note the black hood located above the cooktop. The black, simple form blends into the interior. When it comes to accessories, retro-style items reign supreme here. Old scales, jugs, trays. The mix of old and new is one of the character elements of this interior.

an unmistakable ceiling

How was the ceiling arranged? The unique feature of the apartment, which was the cradle layout, was used. The designer convinced the investors to preserve this unique layout - sandblasting the brick and painting the beams a dark brown color. The result was a unique ceiling that is hard to fake.
