Today we are presenting the second part of the article about Radoslav Savov's project for transforming his own house in London. The article was published in Nash Dom Magazine this month. Enjoy some more photos.
"Since the kitchen space is limited, the roof line is left visible, which extends visually the volume and provides a lot of breathing space. The height from floor to the highest point of the ceiling is about 16 feet.
The line of the kitchen cabinets is clear and they have no handles, which facilitates the use and maintenance. The kitchen is brought 4 inches forward, which provides additional width for the countertop to compensate for its length. The upper row of cabinets is also brought forward and there's built-in led lights behind it. The electricity sockets are not placed on the glass back, but under the cabinets, which makes for a clear line. The central high cabinets are made on site, in order to use optimally the height and follow the slanted roof line. All doors can be opened, and the longest one is almost 10 feet. The access to the upper floor is provided by a ladder.
The kitchen table and the bench are made from the same material used all throughout the apartment--high quality plywood. The lamps are entirely made by Radoslav Savov. Each separate part is bought from a different supplier, the metal tubes are used for cable laying in industrial buildings and are bent with manual machine, and connections are junction boxes. There's also a small system for adjustment of the cable lengths--an idea that Radoslav came from climbing, a hobby of his. The lanterns are metal and bought from eBay."
