HI-MACS ®, the perfect solution for turning the kitchen into a meeting place

Where once there was only a conventional kitchen, cabinet maker and photographer Denis Margot created a meeting point and a meeting with Alexandra Flament’s family, the owner of a villa in almost a century old on the outskirts of Brussels. In this reform, HI-MACS ® was instrumental in giving a new dimension to the room and give it bright and airy.

Planning the transformation of hexagonal kitchen in which it was impossible to install cabinets by the presence of openings (windows and doors) in all its walls, became a challenge that led to the project Swedish Spirit. To overcome Margot and Alexandra Denis Flament resorted to HI-MACS ® material of last generation, being highly malleable and versatile, removes barriers to creative matter and allowed the manufacture of furniture.

In turn, the union without visible joints, allowing you to create monolithic structures, and porosity of the material does not preclude the penetration of liquids and facilitate cleaning. «We chose HI-MACS ® for its quality, durability and hygienic properties,» explains Denis Margot.

Alexandra Flament wanted to stay not only has a large cooking surface but also became a meeting place for family and friends to organize meetings. To create this atmosphere, a central island with a countertop was installed made of HI-MACS ®. This material contains no toxic substances, is ideal for food contact. In addition, the acrylic stone insulates heat and is resistant to commonly disinfectants products used in a household.

In order to give scope to the room, the light acquired a leading role in the reform. So we chose to incorporate large windows to two meters high which, when opened, create the feeling of being on the outside of the house, just a step from nature. The pure white finish Alpine White enhances brightness of this space.

At these large windows sills, also made by HI-MACS ®, has been integrated LED lights that help them to maintain the warmth of overnight stay. The tops of furniture located below the window and made of acrylic stone completes this elegant and minimalist kitchen of this villa from the 20s.
