Surrounded by rolling countryside, and flooded with light through giant glass doors, this kitchen is designed to own and complement the space. Colours and natural materials - including special bookmatched veneers that match the timbers of the dramatic vaulted ceiling - keep it in harmony with its surroundings, while a large island and full-height storage keep everything in proportion. The chunky island worktop adds a dramatic focal feature; and to preserve the open plan, the oven run is camouflaged as a plain 'white wall' along one side of the room.
