It will come as no surprise to regular readers that I have a passion for traditional style kitchens with just a dash of the modern ... the new breed of English country style kitchens in particular. Well today I can say that I have a new kitchen love, a new old-style kitchen love that is and it's not English. No it's the Swedish kitchen design firm Kitchen & Beyond. I thought I'd share a couple of my favourites but you can see more on their website.
Once again I am completely envious of this work environment that could not be more opposite of the one I have been living with for the past 16 years. The folks working for GitHub in SoMa, San Francisco, have it made 10 times over thanks to the designers at Studio Hatch.
At the core of GitHub technology is social collaboration, which was made physically evident in their 55,000 square foot headquarters. The three story office space includes a variety of work environments to accommodate different work styles and flexibility including multiple cafes, a commercial kitchen, full bar, indoor park, dojo and coder caves. As a company founded in local cafes and bars around the city of San Francisco, it was important to infuse these types of environments throughout the space as a nod to the company’s roots.
The beautiful brick and timber space was once the site of a dried fruit packing warehouse in the early 1900’s. Along with GitHub’s own "ship it" mentality, the design honors the rich roots of the space through the use of vintage shipping containers, deconstructed and rebuilt on site as a reference to the train that rolled right through the ground floor.
If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it better be somewhere cool. Mirrorball Experience Design agency's social club (used to host experiences and activations) designed by Smith Hanes Studio. Could you really call this going to work?
Eclectic chic with bold colour accents, a crazy pattern here and there and an obvious love for mid-century modern. This is what Austin, Texas based interior designer Allison Crawford is all about and these are some of my favourite spaces of hers.
Greenery inside and out? My idea of heaven! Fort Green Interior Green Walls and Garden by Kim Hoyt Architecture Landscape (in association with Elizabeth Roberts and Ensemble Architects).
