SCANDINAVIAN-
style elements can be
seen in this kitchen
overlooking the
marsh in Hampstead. A sharp
contrast of black and white
and texture beautifully exhib-its
Scandinavian minimal-ism,
a concept characterized

by simplicity and function-ality
where every piece has
value and purpose.
“I wanted a kitchen func-tional
enough where I would
be able to move around while
cooking with my husband
and work together and have
the kitchen be beautiful to
look at, but functionality
was my main concern,” says
homeowner Renata Kuperus.
Kuperus is from Brazil
and designer Julia Jacobsen
is from Germany. Together
they approached the making
of the kitchen with European
perspective.
Black and white, soft
woods and no clutter imbue
Scandinavian minimalistic
flair into this new kitchen
overlooking the marsh in
Hampstead. Designer Julia
Jacobsen uses a textured
picket tile in a vertical lay-out
with thin grout lines for
dimension.
