“This kitchen is all about minimalism and a
clean, uncluttered look,” the designer says.
For this reason, there are recessed pulls on
all the doors and drawers. An aluminium channel creates a matching horizontal negative detail
on the front of the island.
Duffin also created a timber flyover that
wraps around the top of the cabinets. This
features the same heavily textured veneer as the
island upstand.
“The flyover enhances the horizontal li nes
and helps to tie all the spaces together visually.
It also accommodates accent lighting, with spots

that highlight each of the four pocket doors that
separate the front kitchen from the scullery.
In addition, LED uplighting is integrated into
the flyover shelf. This brightens the room and
makes the ceiling seem higher.”
The cabinetry in the scullery appears as an
extension of the kitchen units. But the splashback here is mirrored, which helps to bounce
light back into the room. Natural light is
provided by a window, so the owners or caterers can work in the room with the doors closed.
Entertaining is also enhanced by large
sliding doors that open up to the outdoors.
