L'ancienne porte donnant sur la terrasse a été transformée en fenêtre, permettant d'optimiser le plan de travail et de positionner un évier profitant pleinement de la vue sur le jardin. Evier en céramique, mobilier en chêne brossé (Ikea), robinetterie rétro (Fairfax chez Jacob Delafon)…: la cuisine se veut d'une autre époque. Crédits photo Pauline Daniel.

When it comes to choosing a new kitchen, some homeowners have a very specific brief. But most, like Rosario and John need a little expert guidance. ‘We knew we wanted a contemporary kitchen with modern appliances,’ Rosario explains. ‘But we didn’t know exactly what was available and whether they would suit our needs or style. In general our brief was quite simple – a new kitchen, with up-to-date appliances and a central island where we could gather with family and entertain friends.’ Having researched a number of companies, the couple were impressed by Timbercraft’s high standard of quality kitchens, the variety of designs available and the fact that all products could be customised to their specific needs. Meeting senior designer Áine O’Connor, proved the icing on the cake. ‘Áine really impressed us,’ Rosario says. ‘As well as advising us on the style of kitchen, she also told us how we could make the best use of the space available. Her ideas, including flipping the whole layout, wouldn’t have occurred to us. Yet as it turned out, it makes perfect sense! Equally, her suggestion that we remodel the dining area and create a link to the kitchen, integrating the utility room with what’s known as a ‘priest hole’ has proven absolutely brilliant. The addition of a French door and extended windows means that, with our seating area facing the garden and patio, we have beautiful views over the countryside.’

This beautifully appointed wraparound extension in Peckham is a fine example of the modern industrial style which has become so popular in recent years. The exposed brick wall, painted steel beam and Crittal style doors are all striking features which have become synonymous with this edgy style. The frameless glass roof with black aluminium fins ties in perfectly with the Crittal style doors and floods the space with natural light. The terracotta tiles give a unique warmth to the space and the Shaker style kitchen provides a more traditional contrast. It all comes together to create a wonderful kitchen/dining space which is perfectly suited for the family or entertaining.

In the kitchen where circulation and function also provide room for lounging, the patterned marble splashbacks with smaller sections of handmade tiles are a successful weave of texture, pattern, and form. American oak on the kitchen island softens the tile, marble, and flagstone in play. Overhead, a large, nautical themed glass globe presides. Everywhere, banks of drawers, shelves and cupboards abound, painted in eye-resting tones reminiscent of the nature outside.

The use of handleless doors and features such as the low bench area with open shelves, beside the new picture window, combines practicality with stylish elegance. To keep the space clutter free, áine came up with an ingenious solution. ‘In one corner we designed an appliance nook where kitchen items such as the kettle, toaster, mixers, etc. can be stored. Above this we put a mini larder, finished with bi-folding doors for ease of access. This area is well lit with task lighting. In keeping with the contemporary theme we used contrasting colours, a combination of light grey on the main wall and Maura chose dark navy blue for the island unit which was custom sprayed.

This small but perfectly formed kitchen diner was created from reconfiguring the original bedroom, allowing the easterly morning light to flood in. White units allowed the light to bounce around the space.
