Pédicule

A spectacular cherry wood kitchen island is cut numerically in an Ahuntsic triplex.

To unveil the counter window, the tall cabinets and the fridge are placed on the bathroom wall. A shelf with recessed LED lighting accentuates the horizontality of the composition and emphasizes the window sill. Wedged between the basement descent and the backyard wall, a small worktop and wooden shelves furnish a trapezoidal alcove. Right in the center of the room sits a solid cherry parametric island. The resulting peanut-shaped coutertop makes it easy to sit all four family members. The organic form of its foot was generated by a mathematical algorithm and recalls the pedicle, stem of the mushroom.
