The Dwell House Kitchen May Be Compact, But It Packs a Punch

What differentiates the Dwell House from other backyard homes or ADUs is its impeccable design and detailing. Created in collaboration with Abodu and designed by Norm Architects, the 540-square-foot house is at once versatile enough to suit a gamut of uses, durable enough to stand the test of time, and minimal enough to complement any architectural style.

At the core of the one-bedroom home is an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space awash in natural light and outfitted with clever, built-in storage. "We approached the project in the same way we would a typical residential project, only condensed," says Norm Architects partner Sofie Thorning. "We always aim for a very simple framework where every element is considered, and we use a lot of in-built millwork to create a clutter-free, calm, and comfortable space."

Clutter-free, calm, and comfortable are words that certainly describe the impressive kitchen, which features floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a complete set of Bosch appliances. The collaboration between Bosch and Dwell felt natural and organic, rising from both brands’ dedication to elevated experiences. "We design appliances to simplify everyday life in the kitchen and at home," says Bosch brand director Puri Romeo. "Our approach to design and innovation is centered around the human experience, carefully considering space and many touchpoints in the daily use of appliances. It just made perfect sense to partner together to bring this kitchen to life."
