Stood on the edge of an ancient pine forest in coastal North-Western Estonia, this spacious yet intimate summer kitchen is a perfect spot to enjoy great food and beautiful sunsets with your loved ones. KAMP Architects’ design emphasises continuity between interior and exterior spaces. Glass walls can be removed during the warmer seasons while in wintertime they provide shelter while maintaining views of the surrounding landscapes.

Wood is used for the frame as well as in the interior. Dark facades help to seamlessly fuse the building into the pine forest, while high-quality European ash dominates the interior – the floor, the walls and the kitchen furniture. Dark sensuous brick of the kitchen island imitates the exterior walls and manifests the modern soul of the building. Located on the picturesque coast of the Baltic Sea the summer kitchen provides a warm and cosy venue for intimate family reunions or larger social gatherings.
