Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about. Whether a family hub, an entertainer’s paradise or somewhere to grad a quick meal, how we live in and spend time in the kitchen is a very personal question that requires thought and an abundance of resources. Always the aspirational eye candy of design, we have some truly lovely kitchens from Greg Natale, YSG, Splinter Society, Sally Caroline and Studio Johnston. Bathrooms are just as important with Greg Natale, Studio Tate, YSG and Those Architects sharing some fabulous insights

Singapore Gets An Industrial–Chic Cafe

Singapore

Image Creative Design have created an inviting space for the owners of Thus Coffee in Singapore, where varied influences converge and work together harmoniously.


The brief from the owners of Thus Coffee, a young married couple, was for a raw, minimalist and rustic space where the young crowd would love hanging out.

Taking all that into account, cement screed flooring and black painted ceilings bring in the industrial vibe, while the dark wood tables and chairs add a rustic tone and allow for flexible seating arrangements. The original counter was kept but plastered over with cement. A recessed niche clad in metal-look laminate and a stainless steel backsplash across the original white subway tiles come together to enhance the industrial aesthetic.

This cafe offers a good range of seating configurations to cater to different customers. The setting in this corner can sit a group of seven comfortably, with vintage accents in the form of the glass pendant lamp and black upholstered chairs adding character to the space. “The vintage look is really in-trend,” notes the designers.

A solid, organically-shaped wooden dining table takes pride of place in this area. The nature-inspired, rustic vibe blends in well with the retro lines of the chairs and the modern chandelier. The white subway tiles help to brighten the otherwise raw and sombre palette.
