The concept used to build this duplex is creating an environment where everything is on display. With that in mind, the firm went with open shelves of the lower and upper kitchen cabinets, showcasing a huge collection of cooking supplies and appliances which are usually used for the son’s experiments for healthy packaged food.
In this project, the firm banished the existing four-story brick building and opted for a two-story extension instead.
