The interior walls are painted black and finished with a matte mixture of paint and plaster, similar to limewash. “The owners are quite handy. They did quite a lot of the work themselves,” says Mulla—including the textural walls.

“The project was about how a new addition could add to the heritage home in a way which respects all of the kind of great things about those houses—the height, the kind of light [that filters] into them—but is overtly contemporary,” says Mulla.

Inspired by a black leather jacket, Pac Studio designed a moody yet dynamic renovation and addition to one couple’s 1,668-square-foot home in Auckland, New Zealand. A new attached deck with a transparent roof is crucial to the design.

If Matt Rednor is filling up a stockpot, red lentil pasta is on the menu. “A great way to pack in more fiber at dinner,” he says. “And our toddler son loves the color.”

The units feature radiant floor heating that can be monitored through included smart home devices.

Clerestory windows stretch from the kitchen to the dining and living areas, infusing the open floor plan with natural light.

The all-white kitchen is fitted with long countertops, ample cabinetry, and a central island.

Adobu's kitchens are equipped with stainless steel appliances. They can be upgraded to a Fisher and Paykel Suite for just under $8k. Concrete pendant lights come at an additional cost of $1.2k. While the default cabinetry is finished in black matte, it can be changed to white matte or wood veneer for $1k.

Abodu managed the build and delivery of the turnkey one-bedroom ADU. “The cost is up-front, transparent, all-inclusive— excluding taxes, fees, and custom site-specific work—and locked in before construction begins,” says cofounder Eric McInerney. The kitchen includes a full suite of Bosch appliances.

To maximize functionality, Bolden custom built the interior structure, offering a mix of concealed storage and open shelving.

With clever storage and a retractable skylight, a London apartment designed by metalworker and owner Simone ten Hompel and Roger Hynam of Rogeroger Design Solutions feels larger than its 576 square feet. The team worked in a uniquely collaborative way, with Ullmayer Sylvester planning the space, Hynam creating the built-in storage and the kitchen island, and ten Hompel making models and scrawling on the wall to better envision their proposals. The kitchen island features a compact cooktop by Whirlpool and an integrated drainboard incised into the countertop for easy cleaning.

A double bowl sink is also quite self-explanatory, created either out of one large sink with a divider or from two distinct bowls framed into a single sink.
