Mirror Tile Backsplash | Stylish Underground Shelter
PROJECT AIRSTREAM
Challenge:
Tiny 8' round Kitchen
Curved walls, floor and ceiling
Limited storage space available
No Windows
No Way out!
ENTER... Robeson Design :-)
Family of 4 contacted us after following us on YouTube. Their inquiry... Have you ever designed a home 20' underground?
WHAT???
Did you say "Underground" ?
Heres how we did it...
(Tiny 8' round Kitchen)
Used a reflective mirror tile to cover the wall above the sink and prep area providing light, reflection and an illusion of space. Light grey paint with dark walnut stained woodwork provided a visually appealing contrast.
Minimalist low profile chrome and stainless appliances and plumbing fixtures.
Ran the flooring: striped carpet and vinyl flooring, horizontally to emphasize the width.
(Curved walls, floor and ceiling)
Design custom furniture and built-in pieces with rounded sides to fit the tube perfectly.
Furniture pieces convert for multiple uses... we call it our "Transformer Furniture"
(Limited storage space available)
Hidden storage in, below, beneath, above and atop without you even knowing it :-) Its functional AND fashionable all at the same time.
(No Windows)
Commissioned a hand painted mural in selected areas adding color, texture, visual interest and most important an illusion of perspective that takes your eye beyond the 8' steel walls.
(No Way out!)
Heck, Project Airstream turned out so Amazing... why would you ever want to leave :-)
I like the small mirrors
