THE SETUP Imagine how thrilled Diana was when she was approached about designing a kitchen for a client who is an avid traveler and Francophile. ‘French-country’ is a very specific category of traditional design that combines French provincial elegance with rustic comforts. The look draws on soothing hues, antique accents and a wonderful fusion of polished and relic’d finishes. Her client wanted to feel like she was in the south of France every time she walked into her kitchen. She wanted real honed marble counters, vintage finishes and authentic heavy stone walls like you’d find in a 400-year old château in Les Baux-de-Provence. Diana’s mission: capture the client’s vision, design it and utilize Drury Design’s sourcing and building expertise to bring it to life. Design Objectives: Create the feel of an authentic vintage French-country kitchen Include natural materials that would have been used in an old French château Add a second oven Omit an unused desk area in favor of a large, tall pantry armoire THE REMODEL Design Challenges: Finding real stone for the walls, and the craftsmen to install it Accommodate for the thickness of the stones Replicating château beam architecture Replicating authentic French-country finishes Find a spot for a new steam oven Design Solutions: Source and sort true stone. Utilize veteran craftsmen to apply to the walls using old-world techniques Furr out interior window casings to adjust for the thicker stone walls Source true reclaimed beams Utilize veteran craftsmen for authentic finishes and distressing for the island, tall pantry armoire and stucco hood Modify the butler’s pantry base cabinet to accommodate the new steam oven THE RENEWED SPACE Before we started work on her new French-country kitchen, the homeowner told us the kitchen that came with the house was “not my kitchen.” “I felt like a stranger,” she told us during the photoshoot. “It wasn’t my color, it wasn’t my texture. It wasn’t my style… I didn’t have my stamp on it.” And now? “I love the fact that my family can come in here, wrap their arms around it and feel comfortable,” she said. “It’s like a big hug.”

GREAT ROOM! Gorgeous Leathered Fantasy Brown Marble countertops combined the cool grays wall colors with the warm brown of the floors. This huge island seats many. The Warm Off White cabinets feel rich! Stone surrounding cook-top and fireplace. The castle like arched beam ceiling details in the Breakfast nook and over the island lightened up with off white paint.

Perched high above the Islington Golf course, on a quiet cul-de-sac, this contemporary residential home is all about bringing the outdoor surroundings in. In keeping with the French style, a metal and slate mansard roofline dominates the façade, while inside, an open concept main floor split across three elevations, is punctuated by reclaimed rough hewn fir beams and a herringbone dark walnut floor. The elegant kitchen includes Calacatta marble countertops, Wolf range, SubZero glass paned refrigerator, open walnut shelving, blue/black cabinetry with hand forged bronze hardware and a larder with a SubZero freezer, wine fridge and even a dog bed. The emphasis on wood detailing continues with Pella fir windows framing a full view of the canopy of trees that hang over the golf course and back of the house. This project included a full reimagining of the backyard landscaping and features the use of Thermory decking and a refurbished in-ground pool surrounded by dark Eramosa limestone. Design elements include the use of three species of wood, warm metals, various marbles, bespoke lighting fixtures and Canadian art as a focal point within each space. The main walnut waterfall staircase features a custom hand forged metal railing with tuning fork spindles. The end result is a nod to the elegance of French Country, mixed with the modern day requirements of a family of four and two dogs!

In zona Navigli a Milano, affacciato sul cortile interno di un condominio con unità abitative a ringhiera, prende vita il progetto dell’architetto Pierluigi Fasoli. Un monolocale soppalcato caratterizzato da funzionalità e giovinezza. La naturalezza del rovere Rosenheim incontra la ricercatezza delle forme e l’attenzione al dettaglio degli arredi dal sentore shabby chic. La cucina rappresenta perfettamente questa accuratezza nella scelta di maniglie in metallo dal gusto retrò abbinate agli arredi dalle linee semplici in rovere Rosenheim. Il piano in acciaio satinato accompagnato dalle ante dei pensili in ardesia donano un tocco industrial, ripreso anche nella scelta degli sgabelli per il piano snack. Le mattonelle a parete in ceramica bianca adornano con stile una cucina funzionale che non rinuncia a preziosismi di stile. Gli infissi classici delle porte-finestre in legno bianco fascettato si inseriscono coerentemente in questo ambiente. La zona giorno si compone di un immenso divano ad angolo con piano di appoggio posto frontalmente estremamente semplice e grezzo nelle finiture. Fanno da cornice una vetrinetta illuminata ed elementi contenitori che sfruttano tutti i vuoti della stanza. È così che gli infissi della porta finestra ospitano nella parte superiore una piccola libreria con anta in vetro e la spalla del divano si trasforma in un volume contenitore con apertura ad anta. Funzionalità che trova la sua massima espressione nell’armadiatura a servizio che congiunge la cucina alla zona giorno. La forma trapezoidale di questo arredo crea un dinamismo fresco e leggero, consentendo l’utilizzo sia di ante a tutta altezza, sia di credenza con piano d’appoggio. La camera da letto occupa la parte soppalcata del monolocale, aprendo la vista sull’intero ambiente, mentre il bagno si nasconde al di sotto di questa in una stanza apposita ricreata all’interno del locale. Un bagno dalla ricercatezza espressa nella scelta materica del marmo bianco, che non rinuncia a dettagli shabby chic con il pensile in rovere sagomato.
