The desire for a bright, open-plan kitchen initially drew the owners of this attractive property to explore ideas for an orangery extension. Their house had a long narrow kitchen with a small dining table at one end and utility at the other, but they had visions of a large, classic styled kitchen and living space that offered modern functionality and comfort. They wanted to be able to prepare supper, dine together and then relax in the evenings, all in the same space. Having a central kitchen island with a breakfast bar, a butler sink, and a distressed mirrored splashback was also high on the client’s wish list.
