Färdigt projekt: Här är ett kök med mycket fönster och då man ville bevara ljusinsläppet valde man att inte ha några överskåp. Porslinho med bänkskiva i furu målad med svart linoljemålad. Profilerad framkant i så kallad gubbnäsa.

La cuisine s’ouvre sur le séjour à travers une structure en bois brut, vestige de l’ancienne cloison. Les poutres centenaires contrastent avec les lignes épurées du mobilier sur mesure, créant un dialogue subtil entre passé et présent.

This kitchen boasts a stunning combined butler's pantry and laundry area.

Kitchen

We were commissioned to design and build a new kitchen for this terraced side extension. The clients were quite specific about their style and ideas. After a few variations they fell in love with the floating island idea with fluted solid Utile. The Island top is 100% rubber and the main kitchen run work top is recycled resin and plastic. The cut out handles are replicas of an existing midcentury sideboard. MATERIALS – Sapele wood doors and slats / birch ply doors with Forbo / Krion work tops / Flute glass.

The result of a close collaboration between designer and client, this stylish kitchen maximises the varying heights and shapes of the space to create a blend of relaxed, open-plan charm and functionally distinct working and living zones. The thoughtful updating of classic aesthetics lends the room a timeless beauty, while a tonal range of warm greys creates a subtle counterpoint to distinctive accents such as brass fittings and sliding ladders. An abundance of light graces the space as it flows between the needs of chic entertaining, informal family gatherings and culinary proficiency. Plentiful – and occasionally quirky – storage also forms a key design detail, while the finest in materials and equipment make this kitchen a place to truly enjoy. Photo by Jake Fitzjones

Rich navy and deep charcoal undertones give an opulent feel to this traditional shaker. Contrast with a white or marble look worktop for a classic style that’s bright and sophisticated.

Shaker cabinetry with 45mm rails and stiles is painted in light green, paired with 30mm honed Carrara marble worktops. The sink is a Villeroy & Boch Farmhouse 800 Belfast, fitted with a Quooker Fusion Round in Patinated Brass and independent pull-out spray by Bidbury & Co in matching finish. Above, a solid oak shelf finished in Rubio Monocoat White Oak sits below Corston wall lights, with antique brass Corston Kilburn knobs and handles completing the run.
