Lush inbuilt cabinets, do you provide a plans only service.

7 years ago

I was wondering if you provide a plans only service. I would love to build something like this, but always struggle to know if im building it the right way. Always on the lookout for good plans on how to put something like this together

The 'right way' is a matter of opinion! And if I did this one again now, I wouldn't build it the same way. Always learning and improving, perfecting the methods for a simpler process that makes both us and the customer happier. Have a look at these photos of the build for starters (might not be in order but you can work it out!). We did this in early 2014.

ksgrant . . . . . I was on a very tight budget, but knew I was going to hit a wall and need a designer consult. I had space plan drawings for my kitchen and used the design services (free w/ cabinet purchase, CAD) to complete the space. I also had very specific inspiration photos that reflected the same perspective as the space, i.e. window placement over sink (light), position of appliances, prep sink. I paid close attention to how I intended to use the space, needed prep space for a least three cooks. I read a lot about the "triangle". Mostly I spent a lot of time with the plans and considering materials in relation to the inspiration photos. For instance, I wanted soapstone but it was out of budget and went with honed black granite to get the same look. Another example is that I wanted the kitchen to have some of the same elements as the old one to reflect the period of the house, so I had venting added to cabinet piece in front of the sink. Houzz was not available at the time, I would have posted some plans/materials here for more input and suggestion. Feel free to email me at tirgoddess.com for any other questions, happy to help. More than anything, take your time and do your research.

Just a few ideas.. If you were to swap the sink and the hob, you would have more worktop space. If you shaved a little off the end of the peninsula, it would make the overall space larger. Are you planning the peninsula to also be a breakfast bar? If not, you could make it narrower (looks like 90cm at the moment?) so the sofa area would have more space. You could recess the TV into the long opposite wall to the sofa, (meaning you could also see it from the kitchen). You could paint that part of the wall dark so the TV doesn't dominate the room too much - it would define the area/break up a long empty wall.

I can't help but speculate that perhaps the reason so many houses featured are London based or more high-end properties is because most of the case studies are uploaded by architecture or design professionals who employ professional photographers to show off the finished results. These services aren't cheap and I don't imagine these companies get too many requests from owners of smaller 30's - 70's era homes, especially from outside the capital, because the homeowners won't see a return on the investment. I would have thought requesting design-savvy home owners load more of their own photo's would help bridge the gap. Perhaps on the next newsletter you can ask homeowners to consider contributing any photos of spaces they are particularly proud of?

Where are you based? And yes I can do plans by email if you like. Somewhat inundated with work at the moment so I am in no rush for the work, but we are in the process of expanding.
