The kitchen in NANO:House frames a view of the garden and opens to the rear deck that steps down into the lush planted landscape. The kitchen space is split into two spaces: one, featuring a white wall of storage and a concealed water closet, and the other with all the needs of a kitchen. Bamboo and black granite form the cabinetry and counters. The Merbau wood deck steps down, offers a place to sit beside a tree, and provides access to the garden beyond. Guardrails of aluminum grating form privacy screens, and provide an intimate space for the lower levels of the deck.
