This stunning Whitford family home underwent an extensive renovation which included the family kitchen space. Our designer Dominic worked alongside the customer's architect to design a kitchen that would thoughtfully compliment the style of the rest of the home, including high ceilings so they wanted to ensure that the space was optimised, both from a practicality perspective but also visually. The kitchen needed incredible attention to details with cabinet lines and finishing details. The black/fluted glass wall units tie in with black/glass joinery throughout the rest of the home and a stunning natural stone benchtop is a classy feature to the space. The kitchen included top of the range appliances , including: cool drawer, integrated fridge and an Ikon PITT gas hob.

Nouveau défi, nouveau projet : transformer un salon en cuisine. M.&Mme B souhaitaient réorganiser l’espace de vie du rez-de-chaussée tout en conservant l’esprit chaumière. Le salon devait donc déménager. Nous disposions d’un beau volume pour intégrer un maximum de rangements. Chaque élément a été disposé autour de l’imposant îlot central et son plan de travail stratifié décor ardoise. L’espace est lumineux, à la fois grâce à la lumière naturelle mais également grâce aux spots intégrés dans les meubles hauts. Une lumière qui se reflète aussi dans la crédence et la vitrine en verre. Et que dire de ce sublime luminaire au-dessus du bloc de cuisson ! L’association des teintes et des matières crée une belle harmonie dans cette nouvelle cuisine élégante et chaleureuse. Et vous, que pensez-vous de cette cuisine ? Avons-nous relevé le défi ?

Lancashire Farmhouse style GIA: 330m² / GEA: 433m² £865,260 interior £250,000 Self-build Philip and Judi's oak-framed home is a perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern interior design. The double-height entrance hall, framed with honey oak beams, features a sleek walnut staircase with glass balustrades, setting a luxurious tone upon arrival. The heart of the home, an open-plan Shaker-style kitchen and dining room, offers a warm, cosy atmosphere with exposed oak ceiling joists, large islands with induction hobs, double ovens, and a spacious fridge freezer, ideal for family living. The mezzanine landing provides panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and leads to five en-suite bedrooms, each with vaulted ceilings, creating a bright and airy feel. The master en-suite boasts a stunning gable window, framing the exact view Philip fell in love with, while the bold statement bathrooms throughout the house add a sense of modern luxury. A hidden entrance leads to Philip’s contemporary man cave, a contrasting retreat that looks out over the serene lake and stables. With three walls of floor-to-ceiling glazing, the garden room offers a tranquil space to relax while keeping an eye on the horses in the fields below. The living room features oak floor joists, adding warmth and character, while the impressive fireplace, built using the door jams from the original longhouse, serves as a striking centrepiece. French doors open out to the fields, making it the perfect space to unwind in the evenings. The home’s design harmonises perfectly with the natural landscape. The eastern elevation captures the sun, while panoramic honey oak apex windows allow light to flood into the cosy bedrooms, creating a luxurious hotel-like ambiance with a countryside twist. The bespoke chandelier, commissioned specifically for the double-height entrance hall, adds a touch of grandeur and is perfectly framed by the surrounding oak and glass. Every detail has been meticulously considered, from the lighting choices and colour schemes to the hidden man cave and feature walls, creating a home that is both practical and aesthetically stunning. The home’s natural honey-coloured stone exterior blends seamlessly with the landscape, giving the appearance of a property that has stood in its location for centuries. This oak-framed masterpiece combines modern luxury with timeless charm, making it the perfect countryside retreat.

Hochwertige Materialien wie das grau gebeizte Eichenholz, welches für die Wandvertäfelung verwendet wurde, findet sich von der Küche bis zum Ruhebereich der Sauna wieder und bringt alpines Flair in das neue Zuhause. Stilvolle Leuchten von Occhio setzen im gesamten Interieur kraftvolle Akzente. Die Pendelleuchten von Lodes bringen die Esszimmergruppe mit dem selbst entworfenen, schwarz gebeizten Esstisch, den Stühlen von KFF sowie der Eckbank von Haas zur Geltung.

Take a look at our beautiful 'Homes and Garden' Tithe barn in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. This 17th Century Tithe Barn, although a slightly tricky space with low windows at floor level, Christopher tried to enhance the character of this beautiful building by designing a classic yet contemporary feel to this open-plan room. The sideboard with glazed doors and the Oak top sits slightly higher and longer than the kitchen cupboards behind, which house the sink and dishwasher, nicely separating the dining area. The tall cupboard situated on the opposite wall next to an impressive configuration of fridges leads through to a stunning kitchen. This included a hob on the Island, four ovens in two double housing units and a pantry cupboard which has a multi-functional purpose. Lorrie chose colours, which blend superbly with the brick and wood interior using Little Greene's - Invisible Green on the tall cupboard/pantry/oven housing and sideboard and - Serpentine on the Island and base cupboards. The light colour Silestone worktops in Lyra help to bounce light back into the room.
