Bespoke bar in Alsager, Cheshire, by Harrison Collier. Craig Magee Photography

Treverkmore Oak - Available at Ceramo Tiles Available in a range of warm tones, the Treverkmore range combines all the character of natural wood with the technical advantages of porcelain.

Glass doors were added on either side of this drinks/ media unit breaking up the monotony of repetitive, solid fronts. With integrated lighting, the glazed cabinets also offer a fantastic opportunity for the clients to style up their favourite glasses and barware.

Located in Bucklands Beach, this dated kitchen called for a major transformation. Our progressive clients disliked the awkward configuration, yet floor space was limited so they were unsure how both wow-factor and functionality could be achieved. Dining was important to the pair, so changes had to reflect this. Getting the best performance from the space was a priority. Style would follow, but if the workflow wasn’t improved, it would be a disservice to this older couple who love entertaining. Further challenges included an unsightly bulkhead and difficult window placement. The success of this kitchen is a practical workflow with chic to match. Functionality is expressed in floor to ceiling cabinetry, creating an illusion of space (while hiding general mess). A recessed bar makes hosting a joy and captures beautiful craftsmanship. Further merit is the kitchen’s cohesion with the wider renovation. An amazing 3-D unit in the living area is crafted in the same American Oak as the kitchen. An ingenious use of an awkward space under a window, means the TV is hidden when not in use. Incorporating the dining table into the kitchen footprint has saved space and our clients love the ergonomics - staying connected with guests while preparing meals. Porcelain in the benchtop, walls and rangehood is striking (and durable). Latest technology includes a double wall oven, set at a convenient height for mature homeowners. Customized rose gold detailing, brass tapware and designer pendants takes the overall wow-factor to a 10/10 against a tricky brief.

Derrière l'arche, vu sur une cuisine d'un bloc verte: meubles, crédence, peinture

Tournant le dos à la terrasse malgré la porte-fenêtre qui y menait, l’agencement de la cuisine de ce bel appartement marseillais ne convenait plus aux propriétaires. La porte-fenêtre a été déplacée de façon à se retrouver au centre de la façade. Une fenêtre simple l’a remplacée, ce qui a permis d’installer l’évier devant et de profiter ainsi de la vue sur la terrasse.. Dissimulés derrière un habillage en plaqué chêne, le frigo et les rangements ont été rassemblés sur le mur opposé. C’est le contraste entre le papier peint à motifs et la brillance des zelliges qui apporte couleurs et fantaisie à cette cuisine devenue bien plus fonctionnelle pour une grande famille !.

Our clients returned to us after 10 years of their completed kitchen design as they had received planning permission to build a new home & wanted us to design, supply & install the new kitchen & utility. Our designer Noel who worked with them previously was happy to embark on this exciting new project with them. They knew they definitely wanted another contemporary design for the large open kitchen, dining & living area. A seated island for 4 people was a must along with lots of storage, a separate utility room &, a designated drinks area for social occasions as well as a separate games room. Noel designed mohair door fronts with a dark signature island in Basalt grey & 20mm Quartz worktops. The circular island for seating was designed with 60mm Sparkling white Corian to connect the island to the furniture as-well as create separate cooking & social zones on the island. The plinth line runs along the tall housing to give a hidden aesthetic to the utility room sitting behind it. The built in drinks cabinet with wine fridge is accessible from both the kitchen island & dining area to maximise the social space. The games room bar is designed with a new steel door front Laika & compliments the moody aesthetic. The games room bar is fully equipped with wine coolers, sinks & taps & ice maker. The stainless steel worktops from Italy finish the aesthetic of the design.
