The Brief
Victorian houses can be a maze of tiny rooms and odd steps. This one was no exception. The kitchen was cramped and the levels were disconnected. The client wanted to blow it wide open to make it light, airy, and ready for a crowd.
Unlocking the Light
We knocked down partitions and found a vaulted ceiling hiding underneath. Suddenly, a dark room was flooded with light. To keep that airy feeling, we opted for floating shelves with brass brackets. It keeps sightlines clear (and forces you to keep your crockery tidy).

The Details
We used deep pan drawers to make cookware instantly accessible.
Colour defines the zones of the room: a soft Pale Grey marks the ‘Working End’ while a bold Studio Green highlights the ‘Business End’.
The Business End
The dark cabinetry houses a bank of Miele ovens and full-height cooking. Not forgetting the all important coffee machine. It looks serious – because it is.
The Finished Kitchen
We turned a disjointed space into a unified kitchen. By embracing the split levels and using high-contrast colour blocking, we created a kitchen that feels architectural, but relaxed. See more of our bespoke kitchens.
