Indigo Blue and Oak Island Kitchen · Roma

In a double-height house in Roma, this 20 m² open kitchen is organized around a central island that serves as both operational core and gathering point — where cooking and inhabiting domestic space happen simultaneously.

The double height defines the spatial experience. An exposed wood beam crosses the upper plane and frames the volume, while a floor-to-ceiling glass wall connects the kitchen to a small interior patio dense with vegetation. Natural light enters filtered through the plants and projects across the wood floors, shifting the atmosphere throughout the day.

Indigo blue matte melamine fronts set the project’s character — a deep, restrained tone that contrasts with the warmth of textured Dinder Oak laminate on the upper cabinets. This interplay of cool and warm materials repeats throughout the kitchen: Silestone Blanco Norte countertops resolve the work surfaces with a soft texture and resistance to daily use.

A wine rack module in a wood grid and a display cabinet with dark frame and smoked glass complement the perimeter wall, organizing wine and glassware storage as visible elements of the domestic program. The Teka oven tower and refrigerator integrate into the same plane, concentrating the operational zone in a single efficient front.

The island houses the gas cooktop and extends the countertop into a bar with transparent stools, resolving preparation, cooking, and informal use in a single element. Blown-glass pendant lights hang from the double height, punctuating the verticality without competing with it.
