The kitchen features a marble island/bar that connects it and also separates it from the rest of the open plan. The dark green subway tiles contrast with the light wood and the open shelves harmoniously combine the two. The built-in appliances and storage spaces make the whole design look simple and clean.

The garage serves as a game and entertainment room with a casual sitting area formed of a wooden bench and a few simple chairs. The ping-pong table is the main attraction but not the only interesting element. Notice the canoe mounted on the wall and the darts board made of sliced of wood. A red fridge in the corner stands out with its color.
