An Apartment In Maida Vale Features A Hidden Kitchen
This apartment creatively keeps its kitchen away from view when not in use.
When a home has a small space, it becomes very challenging to design especially if the homeowner wants to add a lot of stuff in the home. Also, there might be certain requirements that the homeowner wants to see in their home but is hard to accommodate because of the limited space. Yes, it may be hard to design a home with a small space especially for apartments but many designers are getting more and more creative that they figure out ways to make things work no matter what is the size of the area. But what we are going to feature today doesn’t deal with small spaces. Instead, it shows how an apartment could look really beautiful and unique with a simple touch. Whatever that “simple touch” is, you will find out in the images below.

The usable area of the space was increased and it was transformed into a unique family home with a modern contemporary feel. What made it even more unique is the box where a kitchen is hidden.

The box, where the kitchen is hidden, also closes off the private zone of the flat incorporating two guest bedrooms. Apart from that, a shared bathroom comfortably sits behind the kitchen on the rear facade of the building.

On the main floor, the staircase has been shifted back to open up the living area. Meanwhile, the kitchen has been brought forwards and enclosed within a sleek, larch clad box.
Combining the kitchen with the dining area has increased the overall area of the living space. It also allows natural light from the front windows to flood through it.
One thing I noticed when the kitchen is open is the natural light that floods in the dining space just beside it. Isn’t this a lovely sight to see?
