Situated just next door to the ancient and incredible Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap town, Cambodia, the Breeze House is a modern home that revels its tropical surroundings. UAD Architects designed the home to blend elements of modernity with the lush green environment, and to passively respond to the climate. An open void brings extra daylight and a through breeze into the large living room, alongside a blissfully cool garden pond deck. A sweeping terrace curls around the curvilinear outline of the house, shrouded in a majestic curtain of hanging plants to shade and screen living spaces from the outside world. Discover a rugged natural stonework facade and an open plan interior that’s beautiful in its simplicity.

Moving inside, we discover how the home design focuses on the experience of spaces, which unfold through an open plan. A void by the home entryway presents a light filled nook for a small courtyard, which pushes air flow to internal openings. The decor is a meld of natural tones with stark black and white elements. Faux animal heads adorn the walls, building upon the nature theme. A sliding door leads to the private quarters of the home, where the bedrooms and bathrooms are located. The private quarters are accessed via a glass block wall that accepts natural light from the front pathway to the home. The grand double door we see here is the main home entry. A sink area is situated just outside of two guest toilets.

Modern Dark Kitchen Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Renovation

1. Make it an All Black Kitchen

modern dark kitchen - 74

Visualizer:Design At Sketch

Almost completely covered in black, a few minor elements shine in chrome and wood in this kitchen interior. We love how the textures do the talking, especially through the matte table under black wood-panelled walls. But having an open approach like this means that every one of your accessories on display—including knives, wine glasses, mugs, cutting boards, teapots, cookie jars, etc.—need to be on point.

2. Add Wooden Elements

Visualizer:Bogdan Tovstyy

If you’re wondering how visual intrigue is added to this modern black kitchen… a huge credit goes to the abstract art!

A simplistic look makes this black kitchen a winner. We see the basics: a light floor, a black minimalist island, and sleek cabinetry. But the contrast between light and dark keeps the ambiance interesting, while the large window welcomes plenty of natural light.

5. Make it Dark… Or Not?

This modern black kitchen takes another angle on this kaleidoscopic space, breaking all spatial boundaries.

An instant way to brighten up a dark kitchen (we mean, get the best of both worlds)? This kitchen space shows us how by using a white island on a black floor. The backsplash further enhances this dark-and-light effect, while the cowhide rug adds just the right amount of coziness.

11. Layer Gray and Gold

Visualizer:Mitaka Dimov

Black kitchens are cool, but what if we layer in gray and add accents of gold? This stunning kitchen space uses gray flooring to add diversity to the otherwise black palette. The thick gold panel is one way that makes the space look incredibly high-end.

Visualizer:Aeroslon

Make your kitchen both modern and French with traditional black cabinetry. In this space, standing armoires act as sinks, and all other displayed items remain black. The stark white clock can surely act as the focal point of the space!

Photographer:Mikko Ryhänen

In this black-and-wood creation, the accessories take center stage in adorning the interior. We love the houseplant, but the crockery deserves a special mention for doubling as decor. The light oakwood backdrop further warms the space up.

19. Leverage Black Textures
