This kitchen was designed as an architectural element rather than a product. Every component is custom-made and dimensioned specifically for its spatial context, proportions, and light conditions.

The material strategy is intentionally restrained. One species — oak — expressed through different temporal states. Contemporary oak meets bog oak preserved beneath water for thousands of years. The contrast is not visual alone, but chronological.

Bog oak is used in its natural state. The depth of color is the result of time, pressure, and mineral-rich water. Bog oak naturally darkened over millennia. Not  stained. Just time.

 Its integration required material-specific detailing, tolerances, and joinery adapted to its density and stability.

The composition avoids visual emphasis. Instead, it builds depth through material weight, shadow, and proportion. The kitchen is contemporary in function, yet anchored in a material timeline far older than the building itself.

This project treats the kitchen as a permanent interior element — an artifact embedded within architecture rather than an interchangeable fixture.
