Ultramodern German Kitchen in Findon Valley, West Sussex Our contracts team make the most of a wonderful open plan space with an ultramodern kitchen design & theme. The Brief For this kitchen project in Findon Valley a truly unique design was required. With this property recently extensively renovated, a vast ground floor space required a minimalist kitchen theme to suit the style of this client. A key desirable was a link between the outdoors and the kitchen space, completely level flooring in this room meant that when bi-fold doors were peeled back the kitchen could function as an extension of this sunny garden. Throughout, personal inclusions and elements have been incorporated to suit this client. Design Elements To achieve the brief of this project designer Sarah from our contracts team conjured a design that utilised a huge bank of units across the back wall of this space. This provided the client with vast storage and also meant no wall units had to be used at the client’s request. Further storage, seating and space for appliances is provided across a huge 4.6-meter island. To suit the open plan style of this project, contemporary German furniture has been used from premium supplier Nobilia. The chosen finish of Slate Grey compliments modern accents used elsewhere in the property, with a dark handleless rail also contributing to the theme. Special Inclusions An important element was a minimalist and uncluttered feel throughout. To achieve this plentiful storage and custom pull-out platforms for small appliances have been utilised to minimise worktop clutter. A key part of this design was also the high-performance appliances specified. Within furniture a Neff combination microwave, Neff compact steam oven and two Neff Slide & Hide ovens feature, in addition to two warming drawers beneath ovens. Across the island space, a Bora Pure venting hob is used to remove the need for an overhead extractor – with a Quooker boiling tap also fitted. Project Highlight The undoubtable highlight of this project is the 4.6 metre island – fabricated with seamless Corian work surfaces in an Arrow Root finish. On each end of the island a waterfall edge has been included, with seating and ambient lighting nice additions to this space. The End Result The result of this project is a wonderful open plan kitchen design that incorporates several great features that have been personalised to suit this client’s brief. This project was undertaken by our contract kitchen team.

Nestled in the charming countryside of Hertfordshire, this Welwyn Garden City family project is now home to a classic handmade kitchen, utility room and media wall. Our client had a vision and explored a design with us that would become their dream furniture. At The Handmade Kitchen Company, we can make/replicate anything the client sees as our furniture is truly bespoke. This clear idea laid the foundations for us to go on and craft an outstanding kitchen that shows off our true bespoke work. This is The Handmade Kitchen Company’s Classic In-Frame shaker with modern bead detail to the centre panel – giving the shaker style a fresh new look! It was essential for the kitchen to reflect the same grandeur as the property itself, so with this in mind, the Classic In-frame Shaker was chosen with the added modern bead detail, and antique brass accents seamlessly woven throughout the space. This design’s core elements perfectly match black and brass, highlighted with a subtle grey in a galley-style layout that was best suited to our client’s lifestyle and style. Bringing a modern touch to this classic style is a two-tone colour combination: Ammonite and Railings, both from Farrow & Ball. This would bring an understated, peaceful, calming look with a touch of dramatic tones. Having a large space to work with, posed us the opportunity to create an island packed with practical solutions. This central island becomes the entertaining hub, designed with plenty of features and grounds the whole space beautifully. Breaking up the flow of the straight lines, the island extends to a curved pedestal table sat a little higher than the island surface to provide a social seating area. The chairs sit in a circular motion allowing a generous space for guests to spark a conversation with the cook or the family to have a casual dinner. Above this is, a statement pendant suspends above, echoing the warmth of the brass hardware and complementing the design. Creating a symmetrical design along the main cabinetry was the best layout for our client’s needs. The appliances would sit on either side of the sink in a banked design and provide a workflow that intertwines all the functions together. Not breaking up the cabinetry run the Liebherr Fridge and Freezer are concealed behind our handsome cabinetry. NEFF appliances chosen: 2x NEFF N90 Slide&Hide Built-in Single Ovens, a Neff N90 Compact Coffee Machine and a NEFF N90 Built-in Compact Graphite Microwave. All including the new Graphite trim! Designing your appliances at eye level provides effortless convenience and has become a valuable feature for our clients and their projects. The NEFF Induction Hob also part of the ‘kitchen triangle’ allows our client to calmly show off their culinary prowess to guests and an NEFF N90 Downdraft Cooker Hood completes the airflow. On the other side of the island is a Caple Wine Cooler. Other elements that speak a refined taste of quality and design are the Armac Martin Sparkbrook handles and t-bars in burnished brass, Armac Martin decorative grilles for the vents and the Vanilla Ice quartz worktops with a standard double bevel edge. Redefine the focal point of your living space with our innovative approach to media wall design – a media unit with a warm ambience is found in our Welwyn Garden City project. Each meticulously handcrafted cabinet and drawer is adorned with elegant, burnished brass Armac Martin T-Bar handles that complement the dark hue paint colour, ‘Railings’. Soft lighting from the glazed cabinets gently fills the space, creating an inviting atmosphere for relaxation and enjoyment and the added glass shelves introduce a sleek display and visual interest. Further elevating the design and adding luxurious texture is the Armac Martin antique brass lacquered decorative Double Diamond Brass Mesh Grilles. The structure is beautifully framed with intricate detailing and the traditional cornice adds a timeless elegance enhancing its classic charm and structural authenticity. This bespoke TV media unit is an exquisite design that blends seamlessly with the kitchen, making the open-plan space the perfect retreat.

Die Freude über schöne Kleidung und stilvolle Accessoires findet ihre gelungene Entsprechung in dieser neu geschaffenen Ankleide. Wobei die nebenstehenden Fotos zeigen: Der Begriff „Ankleide” ist fast etwas tief gestapelt. Die Herausforderung bei diesem Projekt bestand darin, den abgeschrägten Wänden, den Dachschrägen und dem schwierigen Grundriss möglichst viel Stauraum abzuringen. Entstanden sind Einbaumöbel mit viel Platz für Pullover und Shirts, für hängende Kleidungsstücke und natürlich für Accessoires. Dank LED-Technik wird alles ins rechte Licht gerückt und die Auswahl und Zusammenstellung der Outfits macht jeden Tag aufs Neue große Freude. Pfiffiges Detail: Ein Teil des Einbauschranks kann herausgezogen werden, um die dahinterliegende Dachschräge als zusätzlichen Stauraum für selten benutzte Dinge zu nutzen.
