A couple walk into their new Brooklyn apartment. They simply want to move the kitchen from its tight spot in the back to the open, light-filled area at the front. They're architects. They know simple is hard.

To maintain the openness, they design the kitchen to feel like it floats in the space. Minimal objects that become part of their furniture collection.

The three kitchen 'objects' need to hold their own. In material quality. In functional precision. In conversation with the architecture.

They realize the design with Space Theory, the simplified made-to-order kitchen system from Henrybuilt. A simplified form only possible through the distillation of years of experience and knowledge – and the flexible system approach.

Natural light is in short supply. Leaving its source - the windows - unencumbered means no wall units. Pantries flanking the refrigerator offer plentiful storage.

The architects’ engineering minds value the efficiency. A place for everything.

The choice of warm wood introduces natural materials to the white envelope. Symmetry maintains the calm.
