"Thank God for the sexy cabinets" says commenter



In this week's comments update, readers are discussing an apartment in Porto with graphic metal facades, curving glass-brick walls and bespoke black and white cabinets.
Located in a 1970s housing block, the apartment was converted from a ground-floor shop by local architecture studio Fala Atelier.
Fala Atelier adds geometric "metal masks" to exterior of Porto apartment
"The kitchen is very well timed with the Beetlejuice sequel"
"This project made me overflow with nostalgia," wrote Weetbix.
Meanwhile, Architect Ingognito felt "the kitchen design is very well timed with the release of the Beetlejuice sequel".
Other commenters were less charmed by the design. For Apsco Radiales, the "white tile floor in the kitchen has all the sex appeal of a medical laboratory". But managed to find appeal elsewhere when they exclaimed "thank God for the sexy cabinets, though".
Although usually a fan of Fala Atelier, this particular project missed the mark for commenter JZ. "Oof, I love this firm's work but this reveals all my prejudices against the early 1980s," they wrote.
"Beyond the fit and finish, I also think the plan is challenged," they reflected, before suggesting "the proportions here are seriously awkward".
Jb, however, celebrated the unusual project, proclaiming "kooky creativity is the way forward".
What do you make of Fala Atelier's latest project" Join the discussion ?
