A gleaming commercial-style rangehood and steel side shelving with its own LED lighting system provide a focal point in the cooking area . Bevelled subway tiles on all the walls are also reminiscent of the 1920s restaurant feel .
“ As the owners regularly engage caterers for functions of up to 100 , people they wanted appliances and cooking clutter to be out of view . So we effectively created a second kitchen in the reworked scullery , where party prep can be carried out behind closed , reeded-glass pocket doors that match the fronts on the upper cabinets .”
The scullery has its own hob , rangehood , sink and dishwasher , with the main oven tower and Miele fridge and freezers close by . Custom dispensers for foil , wrap , and baking paper line the underside of the open shelving in this space .
A wine and drinks station is adjacent to the granite-topped dining table – or chef ’ s table – and the crockery cupboard and dishwasher are also within easy reach .
Built on a sturdy steel frame and castors , the chef ’ s table is designed to be easily moved . Tall replica antique-bronze Navy stools provide comfy seating while keeping in with the New York deli-meets-industrial theme of the room .
Above : The floors are original and the layout similar but not much else . Windows were added at the open end of the kitchen and feature ceiling beams introduced where the original architectural detailing had been stripped out in earlier , lessrespectful renovations . The servants stairs behind were exposed , allowing borrowed natural light to filter through from the stairwell .
