Toepassing
Outdoor kitchen worktop
Landscape architect Erik Knops, from Knops Tuindesign, transformed a city garden in the heart of Amsterdam into an oasis of tranquility and a place to enjoy culinary delights prepared in the outdoor kitchen.
Elegant city garden
A small city garden that offers everything a large garden does: relaxing, savoring good food, enjoying every season. Knops Tuindesign designed this high-quality outdoor space in just 6 x 7 meters. Various areas make it possible to use the garden both during the day and at night, and throughout all seasons. A soft lounge, a sitting area by the fireplace for dining and an outdoor kitchen where fresh herbs are within easy reach. The fully automatic slatted roof ensures that you remain dry in bad weather, but it can also be opened to enjoy the sun!
The lighting plays an essential role. The trees and facades are atmospherically illuminated and a splendid, attractive glow shines from behind the custom panels. The floating stairs are also equipped with lighting, which creates a playful height difference. As a result, and due to the application of contrasts, the garden appears optically larger. The natural stone strips, the wooden facade cladding, the gray elements, the ceramic tiles, and the black accents create an extra connection.
Outdoor kitchen
Een grote blikvanger in de tuin is de COOXS buitenkeuken, waar de donkere tinten, de zwarte accenten van gepoedercoat zwart aluminium, die overal in de tuin zijn gebruikt, aanvullen. Knops Tuindesign koos materialen van Cosentino voor het werkblad in de buitenkeuken. In dit geval Dekton Laurent. Deze kleur is geïnspireerd op de Port Laurent natuursteen en heeft een opvallende uitstraling met zijn spectaculaire donkerbruine achtergrond met doorkruiste gouden aders. Dekton is een innovatief en CO2 neutraal ultracompact materiaal dat een mengsel is van meer dan 20 natuurlijke mineralen. Het is bijzonder sterk en veelzijdig en is perfect voor gebruik buitenshuis, omdat het niet gevoelig is voor weersomstandigheden. Bovendien is het vlek- en krasbestendig en brand- en hittebestendig; deze eigenschappen maken het ideaal voor gebruik in een buitenkeuken.
Materiaal
A combination of different materials was chosen to enhance the feeling of having different areas in this smaller garden. Ceramic tiles were thereby used for the terrace and as cascading steps. Afrormosia for the platform and wooden elements from the fence. The remaining part of the fence and the custom outdoor fireplace with wood storage are lined with natural stone strips, gray-quartzite color. The metal panels against the walls are specially tailored for this time of day and are further accentuated by indirect light from the back.
