Lengthy consultations with the client and her family over an 18 month period, taking into account their relaxed approach to living and desire for a modern-classic look. The shape of the room and the request for 5 domino hobs determined the need for a large and sociable island. This also provides the perfect place for the family to gather whilst mum is cooking, hence an L-shaped area for barstools to pop under. The large kitchen sink was particularly liked by the owners who wanted to be able to use this area as a wet zone work station. Stainless steel tops here provide a practical and durable surface whereas on the island the Blanco Rivers Silestone offers a more classic and homely appeal. With such a large number of cabinets within this kitchen we created diversity and interest by introducing three finishes; sterling grey, walnut and truffle grey, each defining their own zones. Onto these we added 4 different handle types to accent the different areas. In the main kitchen galley area the user has easy access to sink, cooking and refrigeration. The outer areas of the kitchen house the ovens and the display storage and allow for easy passage way to the living/dining area.
