Client's brief was clean sophisticated lines with minimalistic colour pallet. He requested that the space was designed to look very glamorous but still allowing him to entertaining comfortably. We combined old pieces like a pair of Louis chairs but gave them a modern twist with painting them in a high gloss black with a stripped Black Velvet fabric. As the space was quite small we introduced items and furniture that wood give the room more visual space, like the glass and chrome coffee table and the mirrored obelisks. In the bedrooms we designed a black and white carpet and used mirror panels on the wadrobe to open up what was a small bedroom. The colour on the walls was a white followed by high gloss white on all skirtings, doors. The kitchen wekept minimalistic lines and went with high gloss black which in contrast with the black walls was very striking.

This project was designed to accommodate the client’s wish to have a traditional and functional barn that could also serve as a backdrop for social and corporate functions. Several years after it’s completion, this has become just the case as the clients routinely host everything from fundraisers to cooking demonstrations to political functions in the barn and outdoor spaces. In addition to the barn, Axial Arts designed an indoor arena, cattle & hay barn, and a professional grade equipment workshop with living quarters above it. The indoor arena includes a 100′ x 200′ riding arena as well as a side space that includes bleacher space for clinics and several open rail stalls. The hay & cattle barn is split level with 3 bays on the top level that accommodates tractors and front loaders as well as a significant tonnage of hay. The lower level opens to grade below with cattle pens and equipment for breeding and calving. The cattle handling systems and stocks both outside and inside were designed by Temple Grandin- renowned bestselling author, autism activist, and consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior. This project was recently featured in Cowboy & Indians Magazine. As the case with most of our projects, Axial Arts received this commission after being recommended by a past client.

This kitchen featuring a bar area offers the family a multi-function space conducive to their entertaining lifestyle. The kitchen peninsula opens up to the living room and breakfast room, providing an expansive environment for family, friends, and guests to interact, and the layout allows for an easy flow from one space to the next. The classic cherry, raised panel cabinetry contrasts with the light, red oak hardwood flooring throughout, creating a play of dark and light. The red onyx tile backsplash located above the Wolf Professional Series cooktop ties together the cherry cabinetry and the brushed Indian Black granite countertops. A wall of built-in cabinetry provides the perfect place to house a double wall oven, Sub Zero refrigerator, and multi-zone wine cooler located conveniently adjacent to the bar area, and the central kitchen island offers additional useable counter space. A double access, glass door wall cabinet was installed where a wall previously existed, allowing more natural light to flood into the kitchen. The new bar area features red onyx mosaic tiles on a curved bar front and decorative, glass pendant lighting above the counter.

All the spaces in this flat are organized around a white cube with the kitchen on the inside. The openings in the cube were widened, allowing an intimate connection to the dining area on one side and the entryway on the other. Artwork by www.AndreasCharalambous.com.
