This kitchen was designed and fitted as part of a full house renovation for a beautiful Cotswold stone property in Cumnor, Oxfordshire. Handleless grey cement cabinetry is paired with real wood veneer in Nougat Wild Oak. At the same time, the island forms a striking focal point, complete with a dedicated seating area and a porcelain worktop. A suite of Gaggenau appliances sits alongside a Siemens dishwasher to deliver exceptional performance for everyday living. Subtle brass accents, including a Quooker Fusion tap, add refinement, while a Blanco sink in Tartufo blends effortlessly into the overall palette. Expertly fitted by our team, the finished kitchen feels elegant, cohesive and entirely at home within this thoughtfully renovated property. Visit our website for more kitchen designs.

A large picture window at one end brings in more light and takes advantage of the beautiful view of the river and the barn’s natural surroundings. The design incorporates sophisticated cabinetry with plenty of storage for crockery, larder items, fresh ingredients, and ample storage for their children's toys. For it to be a multi-functional space, Jaye’s layout includes a dedicated area to facilitate food preparation, coffee and tea making, cooking, dining, family gatherings, entertaining and moments of relaxation. Within the centre of the room, a large island allows the clients to have easy movement and access to all the sustainably conscious integrated appliances the client wanted when cooking on one side and comfortable seating on the opposite side. A venting Hob is located on the Island due to the high vaulted ceiling and more importantly, our client could keep an eye on the children while cooking and preparing family meals. The large island also includes seating for the family to gather around for casual dining or a coffee, and the client added a fabulous peachy pink sofa at the end for lounging or reading with the children, or quite simply sitting and taking in the beautiful view

Client’s brief A modern replacement dwelling designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings while prioritizing high-quality design and sustainability. It is crafted to preserve the site's openness through clever landscape integration, minimizing its environmental impact. The dwelling provides five bedrooms, five bathrooms, an open-plan living arrangement, two studies, reception/family areas, utility, storage, and an integral double garage. Furthermore, the dwelling also includes a guest house with two bedrooms and one bathroom, as well as a pool house/leisure facility. Programme The original 72-week programme was extended due to COVID and lockdown. Following lockdown, there were issues with supplies and extra works were requested by the clients (tennis court, new landscape, etc.). It took around two years to complete with extra time allocated for the landscaping. Materials The construction of the building is based on a combination of traditional and modern techniques. Structure: reinforced concrete + steel frame External walls: concrete block cavity walls clad in natural stone (bonded). First floor has areas of natural stone ventilated facade. Glazing: double glazing with solar protection coating and aluminium frames. Roof and terraces: ceramic finish RAF system Flooring: timber floor for Sky Lounge and Lower Ground Floor. Natural stone for Upper Ground Floor and ceramic tiles for bathrooms. Landscape and access: granite setts and granite stepping stones. Budget constraints The original project had to be adjusted which implied some value engineering and redesign of some areas including removing the pond, heated pool, AC throughout. How the project contributes to its environment Due to the sensitive location within the Metropolitan Green Belt, we carefully considered the scale and massing to achieve less impact than that of the existing. Our strategy was to develop a proposal which integrates within the setting. The dwelling is built into the landscape, so the lower ground floor level is a partial basement opening towards the rear, capturing downhill views over the site. The first-floor element is offset from the external envelope, reducing its appearance. The dwelling adopts a modern flat roof design lowering the roof finish level and reducing its impact. The proposed material palette consists of marble and limestone; natural material providing longevity. Marble stone finishes the lower ground floor levels, meeting the landscape. The upper ground floor has a smooth limestone finish, with contemporary architectural detailing. The mirror glazed box on top of the building containing the Sky Lounge appears as a lighter architectural form, sitting on top of the heavier, grounded form below and nearly disappearing reflecting the surrounding trees and sky. The project aims to minimize waste disposal by treating foul water through a treatment plant and discharging surface water back to the ground. It incorporates a highly efficient Ground Source Heat Pump system that is environmentally friendly, and the house utilizes MVHR to significantly reduce heat loss. The project features high-spec insulation throughout to minimize heat loss. Experience of occupants The clients are proud of the house, the fantastic design (a landmark in the area) and the everyday use of the building.

This exterior angle highlights the stunning architectural symmetry and material contrast that define the Garrick Lane home. Twin gable ends, each framed with Abodo vertical timber cladding and expansive glazing, create a striking visual rhythm while maximising natural light and outdoor connection. The deep matte black cladding adds modern boldness, beautifully offset by the warmth of the timber and the texture of the stacked stone columns. Sliding doors offer seamless flow from the living zones onto the wide timber deck, which wraps the home and sets the stage for future landscaping. The low-slung rooflines and recessed details demonstrate meticulous craftsmanship and a thoughtful approach to blending form with function. This outdoor view showcases how considered design can harmonise with the rural setting while delivering a sophisticated architectural impact.

Réaménagement de combles pour la création d'une suite parentale. L'enjeu de ce projet était de créer une salle d'eau avec WC ainsi qu'une chambre confortable disposant d'un grand nombre de rangements sur mesure en guise de dressing, dans des combles très bas de plafond, peu lumineux et sans arrivée d'eau existante. Challenge relevé par un agencement astucieux optimisant chaque recoin et par l'ajout d'une fenêtre de toit. Le tout dans une ambiance harmonieuse et cosy privilégiant des teintes et matériaux naturels réhaussés de notes dorées.

We created a modern classic for the kitchen of this 1930’s home. As keen entertainers, the latest innovations in cooking and refrigeration were a pre-requisite, and our tailored design provides a contemporary ‘industrial’ feel that is playful and luxurious. The beautiful Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances are pared with a bold palette and exceptional Terrazzo island worktop, which complement the exposed brick walls of the dining area.
