Renovation of a 10 m² kitchen in a house in Ramatuelle. The plans and elevations shown are the ones issued to the joiners for fabrication.

The existing kitchen lacked storage and worktop space, and was awkward to use day to day. Without changing its area, the project removes a partition return and reorganises the room: two full-height columns take an oven and storage, the worktop doubles in length and extends into a large high table.

The fridge, hob and microwave are kept and built into the new joinery. A curved wall unit softens the corner above the worktop return, and the fronts are designed around the air-conditioning unit, which gets in the way of some doors.
