An open kitchen with loads of light.

The Brief These Southwater based clients sought to completely transform their former kitchen and dining room by creating an expansive and open plan kitchen space to enjoy for years to come. The only problem was a dividing wall, that was to be removed as part of their project. In addition, the project brief required a remodel of their utility room, as well as a full lighting improvement and all ancillary works to suit the new kitchen layout and theme. Design Elements Designer Alistair has created this layout to incorporate a large island area, which was a key desirable of the clients. The rest of the cabinetry surrounds this island and has been designed to maximise storage using a combination of full-height cabinetry and wall units. In terms of theme, the clients favoured a particular finish of Dekton, named Trance. Seeking to use this work surface, they then opted for a navy colour to match, with a Porcelain colour chosen to soften the rest of the design. The kitchen cabinetry itself is from British supplier Trend, and is their solid slim painted shaker option, which utilises subtle woodgrain appearance. The design incorporates some nice features at the client’s request, like curved units, glass fronted storage, and pull-out pantry storage. Special Inclusions The renovation also incorporates numerous high-specification appliances. Designer Alistair has specified an array of Neff models, including an integrated dishwasher, full-height fridge, full-height freezer, as well as two Neff Slide & Hide single ovens. Elsewhere a five-burner gas hob has been incorporated, which features an oversized central wok burner. Above, a Neff built-in extractor has been built into furniture. A full lighting improvement has been made to the space, incorporating plinth lighting, new downlights in the ceiling and underneath wall units. The clients requested a splashback behind the hob, which they have chosen in a sparkling navy finish to compliment the overall design. Project Highlight The Acrylic based Dekton work surfaces are an undoubtable highlight of this project, utilised in the blue-veined finish called Trance. Great care has been taken to match joins, especially around the sink and windowsill area. Here a Quooker boiling water tap is also present, chosen in a Chrome finish, and equipped with the Flex pull-out hose. The End Result This project highlights the amazing capabilities of our complete installation option, transforming the former layout into a spacious open-plan area. Designer Alistair has also created an exceptional design to incorporate the requirements and desirables of these clients.

Handmade fish scale ceramic tiles are the focal point on the kitchen splashback. We custom made the aqua glaze colour. White cabinetry offset along with a ply open shelf bringing in warmth and contrast. The pantry door doubles as a black board. To bring in some history, the pendant lights have been recycled from the old deserted warehouse next door and updated with a yellow electrical cord. I love how the recycled bricks on the adjacent wall have the same splashes of aqua. Photographer: Liam Cullinane

Beautiful light and bright open kitchen with a coastal feel. An amazing transformation from a 25+ year old all timber kitchen which made the space feel dark and closed in.

Un pequeño piso lúgubre, sin apenas vistas, ventilación, ni iluminación, se transforma, mediante esta actuación, en una moderna vivienda que aprovecha al máximo su estrecha crujía, reordenando su distribución para dotar a las estancias principales de las condiciones óptimas de habitabilidad. De este modo, además, se recuperan unas espectaculares vistas sobre la bahía de Santander, anteriormente desaprovechadas, y que pasan a inundar todos los espacios por medio de visuales cruzadas a través del patio de luces del inmueble.

Set at a lower level, this compact kitchen is designed to serve the dining area through the bar area.

This tired kitchen was updated with new paint, cabinetry, appliances and splashback tiles. It's been transformed into a calm and serene space with loads of additional storage including deep drawers for this small family that loves to cook. The subtle green cabinetry is soothing and modern, yet classic and timeless.

Unter der geräumigen Fensterfront wurde ein smartes Lowboard eingebracht, das Platz für dekorative Einflüsse in die klare Linienführung einbringt. Praktisch eignet sich der Bereich auch als kurz genutzte Ablagefläche sowie als Stauraum für weniger oft genutzte Küchenutensilien.
