Rencraft are proud to present this bespoke kitchen design which offers a contemporary take on coastal style. Coastal styling is usually defined by the use of natural textures such as driftwood combined with coastal colour schemes that typically feature sea greens, sky blues and plenty of sun-bleached whites. This recent Rencraft install offers a contemporary spin on the seaside inspired trend. Starting with the colour scheme, the room brings together two different shades of blue. The delicate sky blue hue used on the hand-painted cabinets around the edge of the room is evocative of clear blue skies and bright summer days, while the darker green blue shade used on the island gives a hint of the ocean. There is a nod to nature with the inclusion of the textured Smoked Oak door panels which surround the Miele oven stack, and these are complemented with the custom made ‘ripple textured’ hammered bar handles which also add a ‘watery’ feel. The bright white Dekton worktop with waterfall edge further continues this theme.

A contemporary refurbishment and extension of a Locally Listed mid-terraced Victorian house located within the East Canonbury Conservation Area. This proposal secured planning permission to remodel and extend the lower ground floor of this mid-terrace property. Through a joint application with the adjoining neighbour to ensure that the symmetry and balance of the terrace is maintained, the house was also extended at 1st floor level. The lower ground floor now opens up to the rear garden while the glass roof ensures that daylight enters the heart of the house.

Die neue Treppe in Achse mit dem Hauseingang, schafft in dem kleinen Doppelhaus eine großzügige Raumwirkung. Die platzsparende Wendeltreppe wird zu einem schwungvollen verbindenden Element. Durch geschickte Beleuchtung, stimmige Materialien und Form, wurde so das Herzstück des Hauses geschaffen.
