Bradley VanDerStraeten
A colorful residential kitchen by Bradley Van Der Straeten featuring playful geometric tilework, warm timber paneling, and an overhead barrel-vaulted skylight that floods the space with daylight.
- What we like about this project
- The island base features intricate alternating triangular and arched tile detailing that contrasts with the minimalist perimeter cabinetry.

- Geometry
- Linear open-plan kitchen volume anchored by a central long island, flanked by full-height perimeter cabinetry on the left and a modular timber-lined shelving wall on the right.
- Spatial scale
- Domestic scale; comfortable single-family kitchen with generous island length.
- Lighting
- Abundant daylight washes the space from a barrel-vaulted overhead skylight on the right and full-height rear garden glazing, supplemented by track lighting.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, cheerful, and domestic, animated by rich terracotta tones, pastel cabinetry, and abundant natural light.
- Environmental context
- Residential interior opening onto a green backyard garden.
- Spatial experience
- A long, bright galley-like cooking space that opens visually at the far end to a lush garden through large glass doors and an arched clerestory window.
- Composition rhythm
- Strong longitudinal lines run down the length of the central island and terracotta floor tiles, punctuated by the repeating arched pattern of the island base.
