"mr & mrs love originally called in with their extension project. their aim was to create a functional/ social space to also incorporate a dining area and dresser feature. they particularly liked the shaker 1909 in-frame style kitchen and eventually settled on our mornington range from second nature in partridge grey the design we achieved was a timeless though contemporary look with built in neff ovens and american fridge with a nod to traditional using a belfast sink feature. the darker grey quartz top highlight the pale units as contrast." "a solid wood piece was designed at one end of the large island to add some style detail and create a more bespoke look, making the kitchen more unique. additional design features included pull out trays near the cooking area, perrin & rowe oberon taps, kessebohmer clever storage pull outs and under pelmet lighting one of the challenges was designing around what was a central support post that came in where the island was situated. mr love spoke to his contractors and managed to lose the post which opened up the view from the dining side and gave a more functional island. there was also a ceiling support beam that we designed around with lower height wall unit to incorporate this." shuan bond, designer at leyland
