Artichoke was commissioned to design a kitchen for a classically Georgian country house in Cheshire.

The original space provided for the kitchen was open plan (see above) which our designers felt was inappropriate based in the client's circumstances and the architecture of the house.

Our first task was to re-introduce architecture to the space to make sense of the room and to ensure the kitchen was practical for modern family use.

A wall of architectural joinery was added to divide the space, and glazed top cabinets were introduced above the sink to ensure daylight can still flood from the living room into the kitchen space.

The island was designed as a cook's table to increase the feeling of light and to create a link between the furniture and the properties architectural past.

The returning walls were thickened up to allow us the panel the reveals as they would have been in the mind 1800's. This also allowed us to inset the fridge and larder into the wall.

Glazed architectural joinery was designed by us alongside much of the rest of the interior architecture of the house. The example below was aged by Artichoke's specialist finishers.
