This kitchen embodies sleek minimalism with a warm edge. The glossy white cabinetry is handle-less for a seamless look, contrasting beautifully against the matte black backsplash and inbuilt black appliances. A full-height timber-framed window adds depth and connects the space to the exterior brickwork beyond. The clean-lined island, featuring a crisp white surface paired with natural wood cladding, becomes a sculptural centerpiece—both practical and inviting. The breadboard styling adds just a touch of softness and lived-in charm.

Large modern kitchen in London.

This bright, contemporary kitchen has been designed by choosing handle-less grey cabinets which are complimented by a subtle grey, quartz worktop. The kitchen is not only practical for the client, but also inviting, as the breakfast bar has been designed to enable friends and family to come and interact whilst the client is cooking. The overall layout has been carefully chosen and appliances and storage have been positioned ensuring that the client has everything they need within a practical working triangle. The kitchen is a bright and light space and really gives that 'wow' factor when you step into the room.

This Award Winning 411m2 architecturally designed house is built on an elevated platform perfectly positioned to enjoy the city lights and northerly breezes from the rear deck. An upper level ceiling height of 3m combined with a cool colour palate and clever tiling provides a canvas of grandeur and space. Modern influences have dramatically changed the authentic home design of the conventional Queensland home however the designers have made great use of the natural light and kept the high ceilings providing a very light and airy home design incorporating large windows and doors. Unlike old Queenslander designs this modern house has incorporated a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Staying true to the roots of original Queensland houses which feature wooden flooring, the internal flooring of this house is made from hardwood Hermitage Oak. It’s a strong and resilient wood that looks great and will stand the test of time. This home also features some added modern extras you probably won't see in traditional Queensland homes, such as floor to ceiling tiles, separate butlers’ pantries and stone benches. So, although aesthetically different from traditional designs, this modern Queensland home has kept all the advantages of the older design but with a unique and stylish new twist.

This smart urban kitchen by Mowlem & Co for the renovation of a Georgian terraced property in SW London is fresh and modern, yet timelessly sophisticated with classic touches such as crittal windows and an elegant marble element. Created to optimise a challenging space that had several exits and entrances to interior and exterior areas, the key to this design was creating a balance between all the serious functionality demanded by passionate cooks and adequate, customised storage and dining/entertaining space, within an overall aesthetic of a simple colour palette with light and dark contrasts. The handle-less units are faced in glossy white Parapan, with walnut veneered interiors and solid walnut drawer boxes with dovetail joints. Worktops are in Caesartsone Osprey with grey glass splashbacks, to harmonise with the central feature of beautifully mitred and book matched Marmara marble. The island unit divides the room, with the marble fascia/upstand serving as both a practical feature and a high impact design statement. Appliances include a powerful dual fuel Wolf range cooker with a Westin extractor, built-in Siemens fridge freezer, Miele microwave and dishwasher, plus a KWC tap over a Franke stainless steel sink, with a Quooker boiling water tap for added convenience.

This images magnifies the importance of ensuring that the kitchen flows with the rest of the house.

What was originally planed to be a single dueling property, was negotiated with council to be transformed into 4 beautifully designed townhouses. All with 3 bed, 2 1/2 bathrooms, spacious living and a lock up garage. This was a compact, cost effective project that showcases modern contemporary features that blend in beautifully to the neighboring park and community.
