This contemporary kitchen both juxtaposed and accentuated the very utilitarian elements of the space - exposed red brick walls dotted with dove holes; an imposing vaulted timber frame; and old steels that protruded dramatically from the structure of the old barn. A sultry colour palette and broad range of materials (wood, metal, iron-look worktop) provides interest, whilst being highly practical and easy to maintain. We chose suppliers that have excellent eco credentials, reflecting our clients’ demand for sustainability in their own lifestyle.

As well as being the heart of the home for all things culinary, a breakfast bar serves as a welcoming seating area for the family and visitors. The open design allows natural light to bathe the space and provide a natural flow through to the adjoining areas of the house.
