This kitchen was designed and made for a Georgian house near Bath. Tim Wood took inspiration from the original Georgian doors and paneling in the house, for the style of the kitchen and the pantry. From the outset the client dreamed of having a traditional cream Aga, complemented by high-tech appliances. This is a classic English country kitchen with a modern twist. The island furniture had a Verde Savannah granite top and the other kitchen worktops were in Rain Forest Green granite. There are handmade basket drawers to the left of the Aga and glass shelving in a number of the wall cupboards for storage and display. There are two full size specially made stainless steel pull out bins behind the cupboard doors within the island unit. A double French farmhouse sink and a separate sink within the island unit cover all food preparation needs. The island sink has a mounted Zip tap for the convenience of boiling water and filtered refrigerated water. But despite its homely qualities, the kitchen is packed with top-spec appliances behind the cabinetry doors. There are two large fridge freezers featuring icemakers and motorised shelves that move up and down for improved access, in addition to a wine fridge with individually controlled zones for red and white wines. These are teamed with two super-quiet dishwashers that boast 30-minute quick washes, a 1000W microwave with grill, and a steam oven with various moisture settings. The steam oven provides a restaurant quality of food, as you can adjust moisture and temperature levels to achieve magnificent flavours whilst retaining most of the nutrients, including minerals and vitamins.

A fresh take on a French Provincial kitchen with a matching buffet & hutch was on order for this delightful Federation style cottage on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. With the warmth of a bygone era this kitchen does not lack the modern conveniences of contemporary living and offers a timeless solution for the homeowners. One of the main considerations for the homeowners, in the redesign of their kitchen, was to incorporate an integrated refrigerator. The new integrated Liebherr french door fridge with double freezer drawers fits seamlessly into the space, hidden behind matching cabinetry panels. The room is topped of with stunning textured granite benchtops on the main kitchen area and beautiful natural timber on the buffet and hutch.

This Classic Shaker Style handmade kitchen was completed for our client in Henham, Essex. It has been designed to fill the space created by the architect and client as a brand new build property to exact specifications. The property includes solid Oak beams which are exposed, meaning we had to fit some of the cabinetry around them, the great thing about this is the kitchen becomes part of the property rather than looking like it was added after. We hand-painted the kitchen furniture in Down Pipe by Farrow and Ball which has dark lead and blue tones within it. Our client’s opted for the very best cooking and cooling appliances including the Sub-Zero 1067mm Over-and-under Refrigerator with French Door and internal dispenser. The Wolf cooking appliances include the 762mm M-series Contemporary black glass oven, 914mm Transitional induction cooktop, 762mm M-series Convection Steam oven and matching 762mm Warming Drawer. In the island we incorporated a Liebherr Wine Cabinet. For the main kitchen we supplied and fitted a Polished Chrome Quooker Classic Nordic single tap with Pro3 tank. This has been combined with a Shaws 1000 double bowl sink. For the utility room we supplied and fitted a Perrin & Rowe Phoenician Monobloc mixer tap with rinse in chrome finish. The sink is another Shaws model designed to be extra wide & deep for bathing the dogs.
