This project is for a lovely couple with two young children. They live busy lives, balancing work, family and their shared passion for health and fitness. The kitchen is truly the heart of their home - a space for cooking fresh, nutritious meals, entertaining friends and spending time together as a family.
Contrasting Design Styles
Aesthetically, the couple had different tastes. One preferred a traditional style, whereas the other leaned towards a more contemporary look. The final design brings these together seamlessly, respecting the character of the original house while complementing the modern extension. Classic painted cabinetry is balanced with subtle contemporary details, creating a kitchen that feels cohesive, considered and perfectly suited to both tastes.
Unique Design Features
Several bespoke features give this space its identity, most notably the wave wall and the oak “goalpost” framing the cooking area. Inspired by a design the clients admired in the Lake District, the wave wall introduces texture and movement without overpowering the room. Extensive research and careful sourcing ensured the cladding felt special and unique. The oak goalpost adds warmth to the layout, anchoring the space and subtly zoning the kitchen within the open-plan setting.
Discreet Storage
Designed for busy family life, the kitchen also includes a walk-in pantry tucked neatly out of sight with “secret doors”. This additional space houses smaller appliances, extra storage and a second oven, making it invaluable when entertaining or cooking for larger gatherings. It allows the main kitchen to remain calm and clutter-free, while still offering the practicality needed for everyday use.
Premium Appliances
Premium appliances were a key part of the brief, chosen to complement the bespoke furniture and support the clients’ lifestyle. The clients were set on Gaggenau, and we went the extra mile to source and coordinate the appliances directly to ensure every detail was right. This commitment not only delivered exactly what the clients wanted, but also marked the beginning of our partnership with the brand.
