Sophistication

The result of a close collaboration between designer and client, this stylish kitchen maximises the varying heights and shapes of the space to create a blend of relaxed, open-plan charm and functionally distinct working and living zones. The thoughtful updating of classic aesthetics lends the room a timeless beauty, while a tonal range of warm greys creates a subtle counterpoint to distinctive accents such as brass fittings and sliding ladders. An abundance of light graces the space as it flows between the needs of chic entertaining, informal family gatherings and culinary proficiency. Plentiful – and occasionally quirky – storage also forms a key design detail, while the finest in materials and equipment make this kitchen a place to truly enjoy. Photo by Jake Fitzjones
