hiding the smaller appliances from view. The
clients requested details such as no handles,
spot lighting and a boiling water tap which
were easy to accommodate and supplied
by Cookhaus, the Kitchen Designers on the
project.
The most challenging part of the design
was to incorporate a ground floor WC and
a large separate washer and dryer, but
the reconfiguration and movement of the
electricity metre from under the stairs
allowed us to place the WC there with a
sliding door to not interrupt the flow of the
hallway. Floor to roof cabinetry include the
washer and dryer to be hidden from guests
socialising in the space.
Glazing was an integral part of the project to
incorporate more light. With an aluminium
glass panelled roof and aluminium sliding
doors at the rear, this allows natural light
to filtrate the new and existing space. The
client wished for the sliding doors to feature
across the full length of the room, but this
was shortened slightly to allow a cat-flap
for their cat which didn’t cut through the
glazing, which was supplied by 1st Folding
Sliding Doors.
Choosing white as the dominant colour with
pops of blue furniture and a prominent art
feature created the perfect contemporary
home for daily family life.
