•This bespoke kitchen was designed to connect three distinct areas, a formal dining space, the kitchen and a breakfast area.
•Ergonomics and functionality determine the layout, with texture and innovative materials central to the design.
•Colour is discreet, providing an unobtrusive background for luxury finishes.
•Appliances, prep and storage space are all within easy reach, placing the cook at the centre of the kitchen with a view to the garden.
•Large storage cupboards and extra-long drawers enable all the contents to be seen in one go and allow surfaces to be kept entirely clutter-free.
•The kitchen is a combination of three Roundhouse ranges, Metro (with handles), Urbo handle-less and painted Classic framed furniture in Farrow & Ball Black Blue.
•Luxury materials include inventive and unique Antique Brass metal wrap around the island, a Patinated Bronze finish and vertical grain Wenge veneer for the breakfast station and a boxed blackened steel table base with concrete worktop.
•Worktops include Leathered African Fusion quartzite with a sharknose edge on the island, Rugged Concrete Caesarstone for worktop and splashback and Statuario marble inside the Breakfast Station.
•Important details include recessed Antique Brass drawer handles and black Plated Copper trellis for the centre panels of the top boxes and Brass detailing on the extractor hood. Plinth lighting sited under the island adds drama and brings out the glow of the Antique Brass metal wrap.
•A versatile, contemporary version of a butcher’s block, connects the kitchen and breakfast area, providing useful extra prep and storage space, and can be also used as an informal table.
•The innovative Breakfast Station, created as a stand-alone piece of furniture, is a sliding door cabinet in Patinated Bronze with recessed handles referencing the kitchen drawers, and conceals a sink, small appliances and extra storage space.
