By opening up the existing ground floor, the kitchen becomes the heart of the home, anchored by a curved island with slatted timber detailing. It’s a space for cooking, gathering and conversation. An understated wall of vertical timber slats conceals ample storage and utility spaces, keeping the home clutter-free. Every detail ensures practicality while maintaining a calm and organized aesthetic.

At the end of the kitchen, you will find the wall units which include the glazed doors. Glazed doors are great for breaking up a run of units and allows you to show off your glass or dishware. With the added internal lights, it opens up this end of the kitchen. Next to the wall units on the right are the tall larder units. The end unit is sat on an angle which allows plenty of storage space as it goes back further than a standard cupboard. On the left, there was a 'nook' we installed the ovens here, which stayed in line with the units. We made a custom fit cupboard above the oven. This is ideal for storing trays etc.
