Charlie O'Beirne An ammonia stained storage shelf with a rustic iron pole attached for convenient utensil hanging. A minimal wall air vent here flows directly outside to ventilate the kitchen, designed to avoid a larger extractor dominating the compact space. A Burgundy modern Everhot electric range cooker provides a colour boost as well as controllable kitchen heat and cooking throughout the year. The Island with tongue and groove panels is painted in Paper & Paints Pure Grey. The rest of the cabinetry is painted in Paper and Paint Egyptian Grey.

Beautiful handmade Shaker style cabinetry with a cock beaded frame and quarter round door moulding. Hand painted using Mylands London based paint company colours Brompton Grove and Clirkenwell. Stunning bronze Armac Martin handles and a gorgeous worktop by The Granite House in Stratra White in 30mm depth. We designed an extra deep work surface in front of a window that was built over an old window seat at the front of the house. This created a very pretty window aspect with light streaming throughout the whole kitchen area, again reflecting on the light shade of Quart worktop. Either side of this deep work surface we handcrafted and installed tall cabinets to house drinks and useful extra storage shelves. We love working with unique older homes that require a sensitive and mature approach to the kitchen design. For example, the cottage had a spiral staircase on one side of the kitchen, that required us to design and install a studwork false wall in situ to build wall cabinets against. Feature thick curved walls also required a clever approach for the worktop in quirky coves and deep reveals for decorative items.

This cosy cottage, with its low ceilings and uneven walls, needed a bright, functional kitchen that would suit a young family. The bespoke Quebec Yellow timber cabinets, painted in Farrow & Ball Joah’s White, quite literally fit the bill, whilst the English Oak work tops and hand forged iron handles add warmth and character. The owners also wanted a bespoke kitchen table, which Hill Farm crafted from English Oak and finished in a stunning cherry colour to match the kitchen stove. Photo: Clive Doyle

Nulla Vale is a small dwelling and shed located on a large former grazing site. The structure anticipates a more permanent home to be built at some stage in the future. Early settler homes and rural shed types are referenced in the design. The Shed and House are identical in their overall dimensions and from a distance, their silhouette is the familiar gable ended form commonly associated with farming sheds. Up close, however, the two structures are clearly defined as shed and house through the material, void, and volume. The shed was custom designed by us directly with a shed fabrication company using their systems to create a shed that is part storage part entryways. Clad entirely in heritage grade corrugated galvanized iron with a roof oriented and pitched to maximize solar exposure through the seasons. The House is constructed from salvaged bricks and corrugated iron in addition to rough sawn timber and new galvanized roofing on pre-engineered timber trusses that are left exposed both inside and out. Materials were selected to meet the clients’ brief that house fit within the cognitive idea of an ‘old shed’. Internally the finishes are the same as outside, no plasterboard and no paint. LED lighting strips concealed on top of the rafters reflect light off the foil-backed insulation. The house provides the means to eat, sleep and wash in a space that is part of the experience of being on the site and not removed from it.
