The homeowner wanted a dresser with height, despite the fact that the top shelves aren’t accessible without something to stand on.

The room is for cooking only, with a linked dining area the other side of the peninsula (seen in the next photo), but perfecting the design in the period home still wasn’t straightforward. The window takes up a lot of space and the room has multiple doors and openings. “We went through quite a few design iterations to get it right,” Flemons says.The owner had fallen for freestanding kitchens she’d seen online, but the possibility of crumbs getting into hard-to-clean areas concerned her. Flemons’s solution? A kitchen that’s fitted but looks freestanding. The units are supported by a plinth, but it’s mirrored and gives the illusion of space underneath. Metal legs either side of the oven contribute to the freestanding effect. “They’re just for aesthetic purposes,” Flemons says.
