We moved the position of the sink from under the window which allowed us to put in an integrated dishwasher and extra storage on the opposite wall too. No corner cabinets now that cannot be accessed with this layout. The kitchen was so small that it was imperative to make a huge statement so we chose this gorgeous black wood cabinetry and ceramic patterned floor tiles.

The combination of the semi-integrated dishwasher and the prime oak wood matt shadow lines demonstrates a thoughtful design approach. It showcases a balance between functionality and aesthetics, where modern appliances seamlessly integrate with the timeless beauty of natural wood finishes.

The brief for this project involved a full house renovation, and extension to reconfigure the ground floor layout. To maximise the untapped potential and make the most out of the existing space for a busy family home. When we spoke with the homeowner about their project, it was clear that for them, this wasn’t just about a renovation or extension. It was about creating a home that really worked for them and their lifestyle. We built in plenty of storage, a large dining area so they could entertain family and friends easily. And instead of treating each space as a box with no connections between them, we designed a space to create a seamless flow throughout. A complete refurbishment and interior design project, for this bold and brave colourful client. The kitchen was designed and all finishes were specified to create a warm modern take on a classic kitchen. Layered lighting was used in all the rooms to create a moody atmosphere. We designed fitted seating in the dining area and bespoke joinery to complete the look. We created a light filled dining space extension full of personality, with black glazing to connect to the garden and outdoor living.
