The Havre Kitchen
Farmhouse Kitchens
In collaboration with Habitations MJS
As soon as you step inside this house, a sense of well-being washes over you, like a soft summer breeze. Spacious bay windows flood the room with natural light, gradually blurring the boundaries between indoors and out. This unique harmony creates an environment where time slows down, inviting you to fully embrace the present moment.
At the heart of this luminous haven lies the kitchen, designed by Ateliers Jacob in collaboration with Habitation MJS, a centerpiece where every detail has been meticulously thought out to meet the needs of its owners.
More than just a place for cooking, it’s a retreat. A setting where everyday gestures hold meaning, where design and simplicity converge to elevate daily life.
The Art of Materials and Textures
Nestled in the heart of this peaceful setting, the central island designed by Ateliers Jacob stands as a striking focal point. It combines aesthetics and functionality thanks to its carefully sculpted, ribbed wood panels that create a lively, organic texture. Every groove speaks to the craftsmanship behind its creation, while the combination of warm wood and vertical lines enhances the feeling of height and airiness, making the island a true statement piece.
The light wood, reminiscent of a walk in the woods, forms a soothing backdrop, wrapping the space in warmth. Brushed brass accents introduce a subtle glow, much like the golden light of the late afternoon sun filtering through autumn leaves.
The ceramic backsplash, with its soft, irregular tones, captures and reflects light with understated elegance. Each lightly textured tile adds depth, creating a gentle shimmer and shadow that changes throughout the day. This tactile surface pairs beautifully with the smooth porcelain countertop, its subtle veining echoing the organic beauty of natural stone. The sleek cabinetry, adorned with brushed brass handles, completes the ensemble, adding a touch of refinement that remains inviting and timeless.
Discreetly integrated, the butler’s pantry serves as a natural extension of the kitchen, where functionality meets aesthetic finesse. The opaque-front cabinetry blends harmoniously with the décor, while the light wood backsplash adds a warm, natural touch. The porcelain countertop holds the coffee maker and morning essential accessories, ready to greet each new day with ease.
Imposing yet elegant, the smoked glass cabinet doors are the jewels of this kitchen. These refined showcases subtly reflect and refract light, creating an interplay of depth and transparency. Blending form and function, they offer a sophisticated storage solution that enhances the space with quiet luxury.
A Gentle Reinvention of Everyday Life
Beyond its visual appeal, this kitchen stands out for its intelligent functionality. The integrated dining area optimizes every square meter, transforming the space into a place that’s as practical as it is welcoming. A sculptural round table, with its clean Scandinavian-inspired lines, fosters warmth and conviviality, inviting lingering conversations and shared moments.
The wall-mounted faucet, both practical and steeped in tradition, is located above the stove. A symbol of thoughtful design, it embodies the careful balance between heritage and innovation. Every element has been chosen with purpose, echoing the philosophy of classic family homes, where each object has its place and function. This meticulous attention to detail reflects the designers’ vision: a space where practicality and aesthetics merge seamlessly, transforming the daily routine into an art of living.
