In March 2017 I was approached by a couple who had recently purchased a property in Lowther Village, a conservation village on the edge of the Lowther Castle estate. The property needed completely refurbishing before it could be used as a second home and holiday let. The property is grade II* listed and in addition to designing and project managing the refurbishment I obtained the listed building consent on their behalf. The application was submitted in May 2017 and approved at the end of July 2017. Work was completed in October 2017 and the property is now available for rental via Cumbrian Cottages.

The property was built in 1799 and the clients wanted to honour the history of the house whilst creating a space with modern functionality. This brief translated to natural materials that would wear gracefully over time combined with an effortless space plan and integrated appliances. This renovation encapsulated so many of our favourite design moments; stone floors, wooden benchtops, glazed tiles and of course, a kitchen island.

This Kitchen features a large central island with graphite shaker style doors, open shelving, and a belfast sink. This is complemented by the contrasting light grey shaker style doors on the units either side of the island. The Pyla Oak worktops complete this traditional look.

Die elegante Wohnlichkeit wird durch die Highboard-Planung unterstrichen. Neben Kochutensilien haben auch das Kühlgerät, der Backofen und der Kaffeevollautomat darin Platz. Die unscheinbare, dezent beleuchtete Deckenentlüftung bettet sich in den Sturz zwischen Koch- und Essbereich. Das Arbeiten in diese Küche wird aber auch durch das neue Fenster mit festen Unterlicht zu einem Erlebnis.

Style romantique et naturel avec des rideaux de lin, un parquet blond, un carrelage en ardoise et des murs clairs et doux. L'encadrement de chaque fenêtre est peint d'un brun noir comme la porte d'entrée pour souligner le style et apporter du caractère.
