Questions About This Kitchen

The brief was all about scale and entertaining. By reconfiguring the architecture of the floor plan, we were able to create a luxury kitchen that handles dining and entertaining with ease.

This kitchen was designed for serious cooks, so we centred the layout around a Lacanche range – this is like having a professional chef’s station at home. To complement this, we integrated a full suite of Gaggenau appliances, ensuring the kitchen performs as a serious culinary workspace.

In a space this size, we used soft neutral tones and elegant glass pendants to keep the atmosphere light and inviting. By coordinating the cabinetry colours with the dining area, the kitchen feels like a natural extension of the home’s living space.

We designed this space to transition from family breakfast to cocktail hour. The centrepiece is a handcrafted drinks cabinet and a Gaggenau 100-bottle wine conditioner. We chose warm metallic finishes for the handles and taps that perfectly complement the soft internal cabinet lighting, creating a sophisticated glow when you are entertaining.
