With the importance of light in mind and due to the existence of a support pole in the centre of the room we repositioned the kitchen so that a tall bank of cabinets flanked the back wall and provided important storage space as well as well-positioned oven housing. A large island now takes central space allowing all food preparation to face into the daylight, whilst maintaining plenty of work space by placing the hob to one end of the island. Above the hob hangs a beautiful Twister ionising extractor whilst at the opposite end of the island a large and textured Silestone breakfast bar provides the perfect perch for a glass of wine or a chance to chat.
