The Brief The brief of this project required a contemporary kitchen upgrade to suit the recent building work that had taken place at this property. An island was a desireable inclusion, with the design ideally making the view to the garden a focal point of the room. Unique elements were also required to add an individual style to the project as well as to maximise storage. Design Elements The combination of cabinetry used in this project was a key design element. The two-tone space makes use of matt effect satin grey cabinetry with concrete slate grey furniture used for textured accents. Designer George has created a great design that points to the garden area as desired by this client, with a layout that also makes the most of two skylights. The appliances required as part of this renovation were to be high specification to include useful function. A Neff Slide & Hide oven with pyrolytic capability features beneath a combination oven, with a full height refrigerator and washing machine integrated behind cabinetry. Special Inclusions To achieve the brief of this project, feature glass units have been incorporated. These nicely break up wall units and provide this client with a nice space to store glassware and decorative items. Designer George has utilised quartz worktops around the view to the garden, creating a nice feature of this area. For convenience an in-built soap dispenser features next to the sink area. The quartz used is from supplier Silestone and has been chosen in the stellar snow finish to compliment kitchen features. Lighting has been well-thought out in this space, with George employing pendant lighting above the island space, in cabinet lighting for feature units, and ambient lighting beneath wall units. At this clients request, a popular 30cm wine cabinet has been included within the island area. Project Highlight The integrated storage involved in this project is a particular highlight. This client required clever use of space, to include all amenities and items. To conquer this element, designer George has incorporated vast storage into the island space, with exposed wood drawers and end storage used. The End Result The lasting impression of this project is a wonderfully designed space. Designed to include all the desirables of the project brief, with an especially well thought-out area created around the garden view.
