Working with interior designer Hilary Scott, Mowlem & Co has created a stylish and sympathetic bespoke kitchen for a fascinating renovation and extension project. The impressive Victorian detached house has ‘an interesting planning history’ according to Hilary. Previously it had been bedsit accommodation with 27 units but in recent years it had become derelict and neglected, until was bought by a premiere league footballer with a view to restoring it to its former glory as a family home. Situated near the Botanic Gardens in Kew and in a conservation area, there was a significant investment and considerable planning negotiation to get it returned to a single dwelling. Hilary had worked closely with the client on previous projects and had their couple’s full trust to come up with a scheme that matched their tastes and needs. Many original features were restored or replaced to remain in keeping with the architecture, for example marble and cast iron fireplaces, panelling, cornices and architraves which were considered a key fabric of the building. The most contemporary element of the renovation is the striking double height glass extension to the rear in which the kitchen and living area are positioned. The room has wonderful views out to the garden is ideal both for family life and entertaining. The extension design involved an architect for the original plans and another to project-manage the build. Then Mowlem & Co were brought in because Hilary has worked with them for many years and says they were the natural choice to achieve the high quality of finish and bespoke joinery that was required. “They have done an amazing job,” says Hilary, “the design has certain quirky touches and an individual feel that you can only get with bespoke. All the timber has traditionally made dovetail joints and other handcrafted details. This is typical of Mowlem & Co’s work …they have a fantastic team and Julia Brown, who managed this project, is a great kitchen designer.” The kitchen has been conceived to match the contemporary feel of the new extension while also having a classic feel in terms of the finishes, such as the stained oak and exposed brickwork. The furniture has been made to bespoke proportions to match the scale of the double height extension, so that it fits the architecture. The look is clean and linear in feel and the design features specially created elements such as extra wide drawers and customised storage, and a separate walk-in pantry (plus a separate utility room in the basement). The furniture has been made in flat veneered stained oak and the seamless worktops are in Corian. Cooking appliances are by Wolf and refrigeration is by Sub-Zero. The exposed brick wall of the kitchen matches the external finishes of the brickwork of the house which can be seen through the glass extension. To harmonise, a thick glass shelf has been added, masterminded by Gary Craig of Architectural Metalworkers. This is supported by a cantilevered steel frame, so while it may look deceptively light and subtle, “a serious amount of engineering has gone into it,” according to Hilary. Mowlem & Co also created further bespoke furnishings and installations, for a dressing room plus bathrooms and cloakrooms in other parts of the house. The complexity of the project to restore the entire house took over a year to finish. As the client was transferred to another team before the renovation was complete, the property is now on the market for £9 million.

An elegant, minimalist open plan family home with in-ground pool. With a brilliant white exterior and interior this home feels fresh, tranquil and timeless. Floor tiles feature throughout the open plan kitchen, living and dining. The modern kitchen has stainless steel appliances and engineering stone bench tops. The all white tiled bathroom is a stunning statement with low maintenance appeal.

This job was a kitchen living dining area comprising of a complete refurbishment of two separate rooms. After knocking through the dividing wall, we replastered and repainted each wall and ceiling, and rewired the room to install recessed downlights. The floor was lifted and retiled, and the area replumbed to install the kitchen which includes new cabinets, a brand new island unit, bottle cooler, and gas hob and oven. The entire area now benefits from natural light from the 180 degree wrap around windows in the living area. All electrical and plumbing work was carried out by our in house multi-skilled team.

Our client had a beautiful top floor central London apartment and worked in the city. They wanted an up to date London Skyline with several of the big new buildings. The Walkie-talkie, Cheesegrater, the Scalpel, and Canary Wharf and the Dome in a more 3D style as well as Marble Arch. We added a Chinook helicopter to integrate the socket into the design. They also had an arched window that you could see as you came up the stairs to the apartment and it had a very unsightly old security glass on. We printed a smaller version of London and put it in between 2 sheets of laminated toughened glass to create a semi-opaque printed arch window that was safe and great to look at from either side. It lets in some light but also keeps their privacy.

Oggi siamo a Varazze, un rifugio sul mare per una coppia Lombarda. La zona giorno open space conferisce ampio respiro all'ambientazione. Dall'iniziale richiesta di un arredo total white è stata aggiunta una nota di colore con la carta da parati e lo schienale cucina che nulla tolgono in termini di luce, ma che anzi aggiungono brio e carattere. Una casa al mare per rigenerarsi e sentirsi coccolati.
