The Willow House
Transitional Kitchen, Essex
We work on projects all shapes and sizes at H|M and all ages too: from Tudor manor houses to new build properties, every property comes with a unique set of attributes and challenges along the way. One of the most important things to us and our clients with the design of the kitchen, utility and boot room at the Willow House project was to ensure a good flow between the different zones and that the overall space suited the scale and proportion of the building. It’s hard enough for clients to visualise how a kitchen will look in an existing home, let alone in a building that doesn’t exist yet. Scale and proportion are so key to a successful kitchen design and the false chimney we designed and built in the kitchen not only houses the Lacanche range cooker but also provides a focal point that helps to ground the overall design. The antique effect mirror splashback helps to bounce the light back across the room and either side of the false chimney are wall cabinets providing additional storage space with useable countertop space below.
