The Brief

This project began by merging two cramped rooms into one beautiful open-plan space. The goal? A luxury kitchen designed to handle dining for ten with ease.

The Kitchen

To effortlessly support large-scale entertaining, the kitchen features a professional Lacanche range, a full suite of Gaggenau appliances and a 100-bottle wine conditioner, ensuring the open-plan room is perfectly equipped for any occasion.

The Bar and Dresser

A classic glazed dresser beautifully showcases fine glassware, while a spectacular worktop bar serves as a dedicated drinks station. Hung on exposed brass butt hinges, the bar’s Shaker-style twin doors fold completely back against the cabinetry to keep the main workspace clear. Inside, a warm stained oak interior is enhanced by integrated LED lighting, custom glass racks, and a mirrored back panel—transforming the room from a practical culinary workspace into an elegant setting for entertaining.

The Utility Room

We treated this space with the same architectural respect as the main kitchen, ensuring the workhorse of the home feels like a natural extension of the living space. The ‘Country Clean’ aesthetic uses creamy white shaker cabinetry and durable worktops to manage daily tasks with ease. With integrated Miele appliances and traditional corbel shelving, it is a high-performance zone where utility and style are perfectly balanced.

The Boot Room

Boot rooms often end up as a dumping ground. The goal here was to stop that happening. We used a bespoke corner configuration to blend tall storage with a practical window seat. On the left, floor-to-ceiling cupboards tuck bulky coats and muddy wellies away. The seat is the perfect spot to perch while you put on your boots. We wanted a hardworking mudroom that handles the mess but looks refined enough to greet guests – It needed to be tough, but it had to be elegant.
