The Brief

Our clients desired a modern kitchen which would sit comfortably within the contemporary building, designed by architect, Allister Godfrey, and reflect the creative style of interior designer, Shoba Kumar.

The Design

By working closely with all three key stakeholders, our designer, Richard Keyes, created a kitchen that has a presence in the large open-plan living space and fulfilled all of their functional requirements.

With wrap-around views into the gardens, the kitchen island forms a focal point for cooking and conversing with guests. A BORA X Pure induction cooktop with an integrated downdraft extractor ensures there is no need for overhead hoods, this keeps sightlines undisturbed and the ceiling free from obstruction.

Extended-height tall units make the most of the high ceiling, maximising available storage space and creating a clean backdrop to the kitchen area.

Wall units above the sink run offer an elevated position to prominently display decorative items and art, visible from across the open-plan living area.

A row of Carl Hansen & Son bar stools provides a casual seating area, complementing the Elbow chairs which surround the alpine white bulthaup C2 dining table.

A sunken lounge area completes the open-plan space, the perfect place to relax after dinner and enjoy the stunning garden views.
