A peek into Studio Felix's Ramsay kitchen, one of the winners of our first annual WL Design 25 awards.
This peachy-pink kitchen wasn’t just designed to combat the dreary white-and-grey palette of Alberta winters: Calgary design firm Studio Felix also intended it to break the pattern of too-serious, monochromatic custom infills. “We wanted to create a whimsical, playful space,” writes Felix principal Suzanne Tetrault in her submission.
Here, a smattering of coloured tiles plays off the cheery peach-coloured island, which balances on two natural stone legs. Handmade geometric pendants and a rounded, white-oak range hood soften the geometry of the space to create an environment that warms up even the coldest of winter days and breaks the cookie-cutter mould at every turn.
