BRIEF
To design, build and fit the kitchen to replace a collection of freestanding kitchen cabinets and furniture. Although the existing kitchen inherited with the house was structurally OK the customer felt it was too wasteful and inefficient in it's use of space and wanted a more integrated design still in keeping with the traditional style of the house. Long runs of light melamine worktop coupled with the natural pine helped to achieve this aim along with the concealment of a freestanding boiler and the existing slot in fridge and dishwasher which were hidden behind false doors. Two wall cabinets were kept from the original kitchen - the plate rack and corner wall cabinet and a second wall cabinet was built to match along with a small glazed dresser built to fit the available space in one corner.
DESIGN
  • Raised Panel Doors
  • Melamine worktops with hardwood edging and upstand finished with Danish Oil
  • Freestanding Furniture Custom built to match existing corner cabinet and plate rack.
  • Custom built doors and cupboards around Aga and boiler and concealment of existing slot-in appliances behind doors.
FINISH
  • Cabinets and furniture in antiqued, hand-waxed pine.

Before...
The boiler can only be maintained by sliding forward the whole of this tall cupboard!
After...
The boiler is now much more accessable and the custom built corner cabinet gives a much more open feel to this corner.
