still have memories of my mother working tirelessly over
I counter-tops and preparing delicious and nutrition filled dishes

for the family. This heart of the home space is always filled
with energy, aroma and texture. As they say that while life may
be created in the bedroom, it is certainly lived in the kitchen.
With time, newly designed homes have kitchen as a part of living
space, and these rooms became larger to better accommodate
and entertain family and friends. I can go on and on with endless
discussions on design and functionality of this space. But, its
time to talk about the issue which is also revolving around my
favourite place of the home.
If you are looking for kitchen colour schemes, Cover Focus Plus
(pg 62) will give you excellent colour inspirations. From bright
yellow to cheerful red; set the mood in your kitchen with the
perfect colours. Are you anticipating hottest kitchen trends?

I see the kitchen more as a vast series of modules / cupboards, so my approach is to treat
kitchens as surfaces like a painting a large brush stroke, to bring some energy, a vista,
to the banal large surface that faces the other spaces in a home. For Rastelli, I opted for
sculptural forms and a sensual minimalism. The concept revolves around an open pedestal

Colours & the

Cookhouse
Bursting with striking hues, the modern day modular kitchens are creating
waves with prominent colour schemes and infusing oodles of oomph
Traditionally neutral colour schemes have been the norm

when decorating kitchens. However, with changing lifestyle
and diminishing carpet spaces, the trend is to adorn the
walls with both creativity and functionality. We recommend
combining neutrals like whites, blacks and browns with a mix
of eclectic colours such as green (Dulux Mint Green), Yellow
(Dulux True Yellow), Red (Dulux Daring Spain) and Monarch
Gold (Colour of the Year) to give one of the most important
area of your house, the elevation it deserves - Dulux

The ability to pair absolutely any

colour whether navy blue,

relaxing about the lighter shades
of the colour palette for your

Bold is beautiful. Since most

London-based Gregory Phillips of Gregory Phillips Architects has a
unique take on designing homes. With a global clientele, he believes in

How did you get into architecture? What kind of projects are your forte?
As a child I would draw houses I believe in providing elegant
from my imagination. I also tailored design solutions to my
remember being very sensitive to clients. I am committed to
spaces and places since a young achieving the highest level of
age. When I started studying design, and my current projects

Gregory Phillips learned to understand how to think basement excavations, substantial

Architect speak
Design, for me is a process

of understanding the clients
needs and the qualities of
an existing building. When
creating new buildings,
I survey the location to
get inspiration.
Which is your favourite project?

My favourite project is my own
home where I extended the level
of control and also project managed
the works, sourced the labour and
all the materials. In terms of interior
design, the house was decorated
and furnished with my favourite
pieces. The house showcases my
growing love for exquisite finishes
and craftsmanship.
Architect speak
What has been your biggest achievement

so far?
The most noteworthy project is the
multi-award winning house in Sonning.
The project involved the demolition
of an existing house to create a new-
build contemporary house set within a
breathtaking 12 acre site adjacent to the river
Thames. The project includes a stunning
private entrance courtyard, garages for
many cars, an outdoor swimming pool, out
buildings and a tennis court.
Describe your unique style?

At Gregory Phillips Architects we look
holistically at what our clients need for
their lifestyle. I look to find practical
and poetic solutions to design beautiful
projects. I normally define spaces by using
lighting, rugs, screens or special finishes to
give definition to an area.

Compact Marvels
Finding a creative solution for small spaces is quite a task. Take inspiration from
these cleverly designed compact apartments that use innovative designs and
optimal furniture solutions without compromising on aesthetics
IMPRESSIONS: NIDHI UPADHYAYA | IMAGES: RESPECTIVE ARCHITECTS
Architect
Michael Chen,
known for his creative
micro-housing concepts
encompasses multiple spatial
elements into miniscule
footprints. His approach to
furniture design changes
the dynamic of the
entire space.
The 5:1 Apartment in New York designed by the architect has provisions to carry out various daily activities within a compact
390 sqft space. Multiple spaces like the living room, dressing room, bedroom and work area are created by using a motorised sliding
element that moves from one end of the room to the other. A fold-down bed opens up the space during the day and a 360 rotating TV
enables the user to view it from both the bedroom and the living room.

Feature
Another smart design by the architect is the 420 sqft Unfolding Apartment in
Manhattan that uses a single oversized custom cabinetry piece inserted along
one wall. The space includes all that a larger space can accommodate. Right
from components for a bed, a nightstand, a closet, a home ofce, library and
kitchen storage, the space has it all. Further, panels can be opened and closed
to create different spaces.

Feature
Architect Brad Swartz remodeled the 290 sqft Darlinghurst Apartment in Australia to lend a luxurious feel. The single room was
divided into private and public zones with a single white unit. This unit is made up of multiple partitions to t various storage
needs. A sliding panel encloses the bedroom, while a compact kitchen area is ushed to one wall. The bedroom, containing only
the bed and storage, is perfectly hidden behind the unit.

Feature
Beriot, Bernardini Arquitectos have transformed a 300 sqft ofce in the historic center of Madrid into a small, private
apartment. One compact block incorporates all living requirements, leaving space for a generous living room. The architects
have exploited the vertical height of the space by splitting the levels to suit various functions. The upper half contains the
dressing area, storage and the sleeping area, whereas the lower half comprises of the bathroom and kitchen. The addition
of visual openings to different spaces gives it depth and openness.

Emaar Properties PJSC, the creator of
iconic development projects. The aesthetic
of the hotel is unique. Giorgio Armani has
lent his personal design touches to this
rationalist style building, originally designed
by Enrico A. Grifni in 1937. Innovative
and elegant, contemporary and essential,
the starred Armani Ristorante combines
the excellence of the Italian taste with
diversions into world cuisines.
Dine In Style
The concept of the restaurant

CERESIO 7, opened in
2013, came about from the
idea of bringing to the public
- in a beautiful, top-class
international setting - classic
cuisine, genuine and simple,
the true trademark of pure
Italian style. The project was
the brainchild of the chef, Elio
Sironi along with the house
management team, Marco
Civitelli, Edoardo Grassi and
Luca Pardini. A location that
bursts with life the whole day
long, from the morning by the
swimming pools and lunch on
the terrace, to early evening
cocktails at the American Bar.
