The article discusses the renovation and design choices made by Bender and Stegemann for their kitchen in an old house. After significant refurbishments, they collaborated with Parallelwerk to create a functional and stylish kitchen featuring closed cupboards, no high cabinets, and specific aesthetic elements like Fenix surfaces and a wooden worktop. They opted for a yellow cabinetry to balance the surrounding decor, highlighting how thoughtful choices can integrate modern needs with the charm of an older structure.
We planned the new kitchen together with the guys from Parallelwerk, a young company from the town of Bad Kreuznach. We had a very clear idea in mind right from the start: Fenix surfaces, no high cabinets, overhead lighting, a recessed stove, and a wooden worktop which we hope will soon take on a beautiful patina.
I love the creaking of our floorboards. And even in summer, the ground floor is nice and cool thanks to thick sandstone walls.
What I really like is the distinct atmosphere that an old house provides. They're cozy all by themselves, without you having to do anything to make it happen.
We chose yellow since the adjacent kitchen door frame was gray. All shades of gray and black were out then, but I didn't want white either.
