Lakeside Home
In the family room, SZ designed shelving and a cabinet system that was built by Kerf Design. These simple yet modern black limba wood cabinets, detailed in an exquisite and playful way, house many toys, office material, a printer, and a stereo. A work-post pivots out from inside the cabinet to easily operate audio-visuals and serve as a homework table.
Next to the cabinets, SZ designed a series of blackened steel panels that act as a backdrop to a flat screen TV. The black screen, once turned off, disappears against the texture of the dark panels. When it is turned on, it resembles a vibrant painting against its setting. A horizontal slit in the wall above the TV completes this corner. The rich yellow-gold hue of Peter David art glass lights up the otherwise dark tones.
Within one sweeping motion – from kitchen, dining area, and family room – the design has been addressed in a functional way. By accentuating the separate character of each environment, the whole results in a sensual and complex space within modern guidelines.
