This former garment factory in Bethnal Green had previously been used as a commercial office before being converted into a large open plan live/work unit nearly ten years ago. The challenge: how to retain an open plan arrangement whilst creating defined spaces and adding a second bedroom. By opening up the enclosed stairwell and incorporating the vertical circulation into the central atrium, we were able to add space, light and volume to the main living areas. Glazing is used throughout to bring natural light deeper into the floor plan, with obscured glass panels creating privacy for the fully refurbished bathrooms and bedrooms. The glazed atrium visually connects both floors whilst separating public and private spaces. The industrial aesthetic of the original building has been preserved with a bespoke stainless steel kitchen, open metal staircase and exposed steel columns, complemented by the new metal-framed atrium glazing, and poured concrete resin floor.

Authentic British Kitchen in Worthing, West Sussex A traditional kitchen with handmade cabinetry and dovetail joinery was required for this sunny seaside renovation. The Brief An ultra-luxurious, authentic kitchen was required for this development project undertaken by our contract department. To tie in with high ceilings and sash windows a traditional theme was sought to impress potential suitors of this wonderful property. The property is a four-storey townhouse near to the seaside in Worthing and has been developed to an exceptional standard for a private client. Design Elements The developer already had an idea of the layout of the space, with a wall-to-wall run and island as the preferred configuration. To add the authentic, traditional element to the project our handmade British kitchen option from Mereway Kitchens was required, boasting handmade cabinetry and dovetail joinery. A Diamond Grey finish has been opted for, which combines nicely with the sparkling quartz work surfaces. Special Inclusions To match the premium furnishings with premium functionality, a combination of Siemens cooking appliances has been utilised. Notable inclusions are a Siemens warming drawer, a combination oven and a Caple wine cabinet. Integrated appliances have been opted for in the form of Siemens refrigerator, freezer and dishwasher. Project Highlight The real standout of this project is the handmade cabinetry, which matches the grandeur of this property in every way. The dovetailed oak joinery is exhibited across all drawers and cupboards in this kitchen space. Understated door knobs and cup handles have been chosen to match the traditional style. The End Result This project is a fantastic example of the exceptional handcrafted cabinetry that we can offer from our British supplier. The detail and special inclusions add a fantastic allure to this kitchen thanks to a great design and installation from our contracts team. If you are looking for a traditional handmade kitchen then our handcrafted British option may be just what you require. Talk to our design team about upgrading your kitchen today.

The Brief This client sought to move their kitchen to an open-plan area at the rear of the property, whilst transforming their previous kitchen into a home office. As part of the project, they required all new electrical, water and gas connections into the new room in addition to the kitchen. From early project conversations a traditional theme was favoured to better suit this property in the rural surroundings of Henfield. As keen cooks, the clients wished to improve their cooking space with an array of new appliances. Design Elements Designer Alistair has created a layout and theme to achieve all the elements of the project brief. The layout utilises an L-shaped run with plenty of tall units to encompass this client’s storage and appliance desirables, in addition to a sizeable island which was a key requirement. The island area adds plenty of worktop space for food preparation and cooking, as well as providing seating for two and a space to perch whilst cooking. A traditional theme has been achieved by utilising handcrafted in-frame furniture from one of our British suppliers. The colour combination of taupe grey for the main kitchen area, and light grey for the island is a subtle choice that suits the space perfectly. A Dekton work surface was opted for throughout the kitchen space, this has been chosen in the finish Salina, which teams well with grey accents in this design. To store dry foods an all-in-one storage option was required to keep things neat and tidy. Designer Alistair recommended a full-height pantry, which is equipped with shelving, drawer storage and door-mounted spice racks. The array of appliances were also to be located in one area of the kitchen, and so the space in between has been designed with wall units to differ from a run of full-height units. Here a undermounted sink has been installed, in addition to a dishwasher, integrated bin-store, and corner storage. This area has also been enhanced with a glass splashback, useful wall unit mounted plug sockets, and undercabinet lighting. Special Inclusions As keen cooks an array of appliances to help with kitchen functionality and enjoyment was key. A selection of premium Neff appliances have been utilised for this project, including two Slide & Hide single ovens, a combination microwave, built-in coffee centre, full-height refrigerator and full-height freezer. Placed upon the island is a sizeable five-burner Neff gas hob which is where most of the cooking in this household will take place. The hob has been placed on the island so the clients can indulge in their cooking and watch rugby on TV at the same time. Above this area a ceiling mounted extractor has been built to remove any cooking odours. Project Highlight Oak internals are a beautiful element of any kitchen and so are the highlight of this project. The dovetailed drawer boxes best showcase the handcrafted internals in this kitchen, as well as the door-mounted spice racks within the pantry. The End Result This project is another that showcases the capabilities of our complete design and installation option. Designer Alistair has created a clever design that achieves all elements of the project brief and perfectly captures the client’s ambitions for this space. The kitchen itself is a fantastic example of our illustrious in-frame British kitchen option, that has been installed with great care and precision.
