It was important to the Youngs to use local talent wherever possible. The kitchen cabinets and all of the mill work were locally fabricated. The breakfast counter is supported with an old tire jack -- the kind of found object that appeals so much to Young and that he finds uses for in details throughout the home, inside and out.
“The fact that the external walls were built to the site’s boundary led to the solution of skylights as the one of the few means of introducing north light and good cross ventilation into the building,” Simpson continues. The hanging lights are from Artemide while the hotplates and cooktops are from Barazza.
Joaquin Altamirano and Silvia Martín worked with Daniel Bergman Vázquez of Estudio Untercio to create an open-plan oasis in an apartment building in central Madrid. Estudio Untercio designed the medium-density fiberboard cupboards, which are coated with lacquer paint matching the ceramic-porcelain countertops. The tubular hood above the island is by Teka.
