SURFACE APPEAL

1 GRAND STYLE

The owner of this new home, built by Domvs London, came to us to design and build the kitchen. The architectural details of the room were already in place, and really very beautiful – neo-classical with a grand Georgian-inspired air. The kitchen may lack traditional windows, but a long skylight and glazed doors to the garden fill the space with natural light.

2 FOCAL POINT

From the entrance hall with its impressive chandelier, there’s a clear sightline through the main reception room, then the dining room and finally the kitchen. The core emphasis of our brief was to make that view full of impact. We placed the island unit, encased in beautifully book-matched Coffee Brown marble, in prime position to draw attention.
