Designer: Jeff
Products: Schüller, Corestone, Quooker, Luxiar, Bosch, NEFF

  • The design journey always begins with a thorough consultation to understand our client’s vision and lifestyle. The goal was to create a timeless kitchen that balances aesthetics with functionality. 

    • Style:  Schuller classic matt onyx black

    • Colour Palette: Velvet lacquer onyx black, classic carcass colour, stainless steel appliances and handles , Quartz Carrara Arabesque worktops

    • Materials:  Glass doors, Corestone 30mm and 60mm Carrara Arabesque, stainless steel hinges and handles, fragranite sink

  • This kitchen features fully custom cabinetry, including bespoke housing to seamlessly integrate the extractor and grill plate within the unit below. Reduced-depth glass cabinets run along one wall, creating visual interest while offering practical storage.

    Key features of the design include a large mantle, a built-in grill plate, a double American-style fridge freezer, an under-counter wine fridge, an integrated coffee machine, and a kitchen waste disposal system—each element thoughtfully chosen to suit the homeowner’s lifestyle.

    The countertops are finished in luxurious Corestone, with a 30mm thickness on the main runs and a statement 60mm worktop on the island, all in a stunning Carrara Arabesque finish that adds elegance and depth.

    Appliances were carefully selected for both performance and style, including a PRO3 Flex Black Quooker tap, Bosch appliances, a NEFF induction hob with a matching griddle pan, and a Luxair LA Lusso 1500mm stainless steel extractor that complements the kitchen’s sleek aesthetic.

    Sensio fittings and sensor-activated lights are installed inside the glass-fronted cabinets for a soft, ambient glow.

    The layout is a spacious galley-style kitchen that opens up into a larger living space, anchored by a generous island that’s perfect for cooking, entertaining, and gathering with family.

  • Biggest Challenge: Our client wanted a hotplate integrated into their kitchen, which required us to find a way to accommodate one of the largest extractors available, ensuring efficient smoke removal and maintaining a safe, comfortable cooking environment.

    Solution: First, we needed to create a large enough opening for the extractor pipe, which involved both internal and external building work. We then sourced a professional-grade kitchen extractor from a new supplier to ensure we could meet the client’s requirements.

  • “The redesigned kitchen has made a big difference to the home and how much we use the kitchen. We all love it”.
