Working closely with the owners, our designer was able to create a kitchen that has space for everyone with a magnificent three-metre island, separate zones for different functions and plenty of room for friends and family to gather without encroaching on the cook’s activities. A variety of finishes are complemented by the classic Shaker-profile doors and a simple mantelpiece above the cooker. Modern functionality has been hidden within, with a range of hardware from Blum ensuring practical considerations have not been forgotten.
