Spacious family home
Dormansland
About This Project
Brief
Our clients were after a modern, handleless style for their spacious contemporary kitchen. The kitchen needed to be both stylish and practical. The design had to provide plenty of storage, enable the family to entertain on a large scale and be wheelchair accessible.
Additionally, the new kitchen needed to have a high gloss finish, and easily accommodate up to four people cooking and working in there. With three ovens, full size fridge, separate full size freezer and a full size wine fridge specified, this is a home that knows how to throw a party!
Our bespoke kitchen design
We designed a large kitchen island to create a feature, introduce a contrasting finish, and provide even more practical work space. The island still enables full wheelchair access, ensuring a space that works for the whole family.
To contrast the white gloss units, we used German brand, Rotpunkt for the kitchen island. The distinctive and textured grey softens the overall crisp white finish of the kitchen and adds some focal interest. The Corian worktop is the finishing touch to this modern and charismatic home. It continues the flawless look and feel, but with unbeatable practicality. We love using Corian, it looks great, feels great and is so robust, it is ideal for a busy kitchen!
This home runs on solar power so energy efficiency was particularly important in this project. We installed a gas Barazza hob which looks fabulous but is also more energy efficient than induction hobs.
All in the detail
Using two types of cabinetry could have made this spacious contemporary kitchen feel fragmented. To ensure the design felt cohesive, we designed bespoke surrounds for the gloss wall units in the textured grey. This really married the two elements together.
Often on our kitchen projects, the kitchen is actually part of other renovation work taking place at the property. We regularly work with the other trades on site. Meeting the main builder on the project before our work begun was important, to establish what both sides needed to be aware of as the renovation progressed. By taking the time to do this at the start, we can ensure the whole installation runs smoothly and everyone’s needs are taken into account. The key element for us with the building work was the ceiling, which would feature our integrated cooker hood. Our design required this hood to be installed into the ceiling cavity to create a completely seamless ceiling surface. We discussed this with the builder, in advance which ensured the ceiling was set up correctly for our installation.
