Wideopen Classic Kitchen
The Brief
Design / Supply / Installation / Project Management
Before
A beautiful family home with stunning period features - this customer’s kitchen was very small and not practical. They were looking for a full renovation and were open to ideas, including utilising the oversized dining space.
They also didn’t have enough fridge-freezer space, food prep space, dishwasher space. In short, they needed a bigger kitchen!
Design
During the initial consultation we suggested expanding the kitchen in to the larder dining room space and creating a double island layout. One area primarily for cooking and food prep, and the other a family style island with breakfast bar. This involved rerouting plumbing through concrete floors, building the new kitchen space around period features, and even removing a solid stone wall to allow the more open plan space.
The customers wanted to honour the history of the house and chose natural tones and materials - painted traditional timber doors and solid stone worktops. We made sure to keep the original features of the house intact - the cooking hearth, the ceiling beams, the door and window pelmets.
The new layout creates perfect zones for family life and a new sociable living space.
From the ripout of the old kitchen right up to the floor tiling, we were on-site managing each step of this project. The completed images are from when we popped back to check on progress and the customers had already moved back in and were busy prepping dinner!
